This course
emphasizes analysis and synthesis of closed-loop control systems using
classical and state-space approaches with an emphasis on electro-mechanical
systems. The mathematical requirements include the Laplace transform methods of
solving differential equations, matrix algebra, and basic complex variables.
Discussion of classical control-system design includes modeling of dynamic
systems, block diagram representation, time and frequency domain methods,
transient and steady state response, stability criteria, controller action
(proportional; proportional and integral; proportional, integral, and
derivative; and pseudo-derivatives feedback), root locus methods, the methods
of Nyquist and Bode, and dynamics compensation techniques. Discussion of state-space
methods includes formulation and solution (analytical and computer-based) of
state equations, and pole-placement design. The course integrates
computer-aided analysis and design tools (MATLAB and Simulink) to ensure
relevance to the design of real-world controlled electro-mechanical systems.
The course also includes lab (hardware-based) exercises.
Prerequisites: MA 321, MC290 or EE301

The purpose of the exams is to convey your
understanding of the material; therefore, it is important that you show your
work. Even if you feel that the solution
to a problem is obvious; you must still explain why it is obvious. Furthermore; if you are asked to solve a
problem using a given technique; then please use that technique; otherwise, I
have no way to judge your understanding of the technique being tested.
Homework will be assigned from the book as your primary preparation for
the exams. We will review
select homework problems in class and you will be asked to work them on the
board for a participation grade. Homework must be
completed on time or it will not help with the quizzes. We will also incorporate design problems as
appropriate to the material. These
problems are designed to challenge you to think beyond what the book has told
you, and do real engineering. There may
be more than one correct answer. Quizzes
will be the primary factor in your HW grade.
If you understand how to do the homework problems you will have an
easier time with the Quizes.
Working with classmates to study, resolve problems, and learn the
material is expected and encouraged during normal course work. However, during individual evaluations (e.g.
quizzes, exams, individual projects, etc.) you are expected to comply with all
standards of academic honesty. You will
be graded fairly, and so your work should fairly represent your knowledge,
abilities, and effort, not that of others.
Any breach of integrity (including but not limited to: copying
solutions, internet solutions, copying from peers, claiming work or designs
without proper citation, etc.), will not only impact your ability to learn the
material and my ability to help you through proper feedback, it will result in
academic penalty. Any individual found in
breach of this code will fail the afflicted assignment and will be asked to
meet privately; any other offenses will be referred to the Dean for further
action, and could result in penalties as severe as expulsion from the University.
If you have a documented disability and wish to discuss academic
accommodations, please contact: David Ryan-Soderlund at Academic and Disability
Support Services (203) 254-4000, x2615, or email
drsoderlund@mail.fairfield.edu, and notify the course instructor within the
first two weeks of the semester.
