Purpose of class
This course aims to introduce the general system stability and its analysis as well as the basic design of controller (PID controller) in a feedback system.
Course description
This course provides basic knowledge on control theory for SISO linear system in frequency domain approach (transfer function). Based on Introduction to Control Engineering, system stability, controller design (PID controller) and related topics are discussed.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students can explain intuitive understanding of dynamical system, response of 1st/2nd order transfer functions between time domain and frequency domain
  2. Students can determine the stability of SISO linear systems
  3. Students can explain and derive the transfer function from a block diagram
  4. Students can design a PID controller for a given plant

Evaluation method and criteria
quiz 20pts + homework 20pts + exams 60pts = 100 pts (total point)

Students can earn the credits of this course by fulfilling the following requirements:
1) Take both the midterm and final exams
2) Get at least 60% of the total point
3) Submit at least 6 homework

2pts/homework for correct answer and 1pt for partially correct answer.
For exams, 60% or higher evaluation point will be given if students can correctly answer problems at the same level with quiz and homework.
