Description

The first course in control systems introduces:
Introduction to feedback control systems, Block Diagram Representation , Signal Flow Graph, Analyzing the
performance of control systems either in open or closed loops, transient-response analysis and steady state
error analysis, basic control actions (PID), tuning methods of PID controller, Steady State Error analysis,
stability analysis through the Routh-Hurwitz. Sotware simulation primarily with MATLAB and laboratory
experiments will complement and supplement the theory.
