3.00 Credits
This course covers dynamic modeling and control of linear systems through an overview of classical control theory as the foundation for control applications in electrical and mechanical systems. Topics include system modeling using Laplace transform and Root Locus methods. Mathematical models are developed for electrical, mechanical, and other physical control systems. Control systems analysis and design techniques are studied within the context of how each system is physically controlled in practice.
-
3.00 Credits
This course continues the integrated study of controls engineering. Topics include stability, steady state error, transient response, vibrations, sinusoidal frequency analysis, system modeling and design via frequency response methods, state space methods, and introduction to digital control. Laboratory exercises are integrated into classroom work.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides experience in the integration of math, science, and engineering principles leading to a comprehensive engineering design project. Open-ended, clientbased design problems emphasize a multidisciplinary approach to total system design providing multiple paths to a number of feasible and acceptable solutions which meet the stated performance requirements. Design teams are required to develop product specifications, generate alternatives through modeling, make practical engineering approximations to include probabilistic approaches, perform appropriate analysis to support the technical feasibility of the design, and make decisions leading to an optimal system design. System integration, reverse engineering/redesign projects, human factors engineering, products liability, ethics, safety, computer-aided design, maintainability, and fabrication techniques are addressed. This course provides an integrative experience in support of the overarching academic program goal.
-
