Feedback Control Design

Description

Design is central to all engineering, but especially to control system design. Learn the process of analyzing and designing feedback control systems starting from a physical model of a system which will focus on everyday applications. Lectures are delivered by faculty who describe their real world experience with control system design and share their analysis from a variety of fields. Students should expect to use MATLAB throughout the course.
