1 Fluid Control Systems
Students have to understand the configuration machineries in the fluid control system and master the control system analysis
design approach, because fluid control systems are widely used in many industrial fields.
Fluid control systems are being applied in many industrial fields such as automobiles (suspension, power steering, 4WS, ABS),
construction equipments, industrial robots, various automated machines, and aseismic devices in high-rise buildings. This
course will discuss the elements (equipments) constituting these fluid control systems and introduce their characteristics
and applications. As well, explanations will also be provided on design methods when configuring them into systems, dynamic
properties analysis and simulation techniques to understand system behavior, and control system design methods for hydraulic
control systems, pneumatic control systems, and functional fluid devices, etc. while citing specific examples of applications.
- Study of the basic control engineering required for fluid control
- Study of devices, which consist of the fluid control system
- Study of control design method applied to the fluid control system

Evaluation method and criteria
It is mandatory to submit a task report on the lecture content every time.
Each report is evaluated by S, A, B, C, and D, and C is the level at which the lecture content can be understood at a minimum.
However, if the report has not been submitted, it will be D.
The final evaluation is an average of all reports, and if the C evaluation is given, 60 points will be passed.
Feedback on exams, assignments, etc.
