Description

Automation and control systems is an interdisciplinary field with a broad range of applications from vehicles to robots and process control systems. This subject will focus on the practical implementation of control theory in realworld applications. It introduces the basics of classical control theory, including representation of physical control systems, … For more content click the Read More button below.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this subject, graduates will be able to:
1.
develop control systems models of physical systems, including block diagrams and transfer functions
2.
analyse the time and frequency characteristics of a control system and use time and frequency response techniques to assist control system design
