Pre-requisites: EE351 Co-requisites: Non
Course Objectives: This course aims to familiarize the student with the basic principles and skills in applied control. Two basic issues are emphasized: the first issue is to learn the industrial aspects in transducers and actuators. The second issue is the design and implementation in control. The teaching material helps the student solve many practical problems and to be able to understand the principles of control design for continuous systems.
Topics Covered: Introduction to control systems, Basics of system modeling and analysis, System Representation, System Response and Simulation, State Space Design Approach, PID Controller Design, Controller design methods frequency domain, Sensors and Transducers, Actuators and Real time control, Control applications (Power systems, Motors, Robotics, …), Control Design Project, Applications and General Review.
Class / Tutorial Schedule: Three lectures are assigned per week with 50 minute for each lecture session. There is also a 50 minute weekly tutorial session associated with this course.
Professional Component Contribution: Students can learn the analysis and design of different problems with special emphasis on concepts and design creativity. They acquire the basic skills of how to approach and deal with different requirements and solve simple design and practical problems. Students must also utilize knowledge of engineering sciences in order to effectively analyze a diverse set of fundamental problems in system design and applications.
Relationship to ABET Learning Outcomes (a - k): This course contributes to
Outcome A: By teaching the student how to understand the physical problem, this course support the objective of producing graduate with general science to electrical engineering. The students learn how to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering especially for the system modeling part.
Outcome C: By teaching how to design simple applications and how to integrate different components, this course supports the objective of producing graduates with relevant engineering design experience.
Outcome E: This course supports the objective of producing graduates with relevant engineering problems in formulation, solving problems and design.
Outcome K: By teaching the simulation techniques especially digital simulation for the designed system and emphasizes the skills through a simulation project with up to date software version using MATLAB SIMULINK.
Evaluation: There are graded home works, two 2-hours mid-term exams and a three hour final exam. The grade distribution is as follows: First Mid-Term Exam (15%), Second Mid-Term Exam (15%), Home Works, Quizzes & Class Participation (20%), Micro project (10%), and Final Exam (40%). The total grades are 100%.
Challenges and actions taken to improve the course outcomes: Industrial problems are addressed. Profession issues are addressed in the design as (economy, safety, standards in control signal and components, and impact to the environment). Contact office hours can be increased Practical considerations are considered in signals, components,…etc. Micro-projects are addressed to integrate and investigate the experience of students with simulation techniques using MATLAB SIMULINK.
