Automatic Control Systems (ECE346/ECE455)

This module is designed to enable students to understand concepts of dynamic systems that include electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic components. In addition, it introduces automatic control description, modeling, different control design techniques, analyzing the performance of control systems either in open loop or closed loop, transient-response analysis and steady state error analysis, basic control actions, and Lead and Lag compensators. The frequency   response methods using polar plot, bode diagram and Nichol chart, the root locus methods, State space analysis of multivariable control systems, and feedback controllers are also presented.
