COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The course starts with control system definition and its classifications, the application of the Laplace transform in
evaluating system response, and the various system representations. It also covers root locus techniques, bode plot
analysis, nyquist criterion, sensitivity and stability criteria.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the term, the students shall be able to:
COGNITIVE 1. Represent various and systems in its Laplace transform and state-space.
2. Differentiate an open-loop from close-loop control system.
3. Analyze the characteristics of a system through its response.
AFFECTIVE 4. Appreciate the use of Laplace transform in designing a control system.
5. Show how the right approach in system design results to stable systems.
PSYCHOMOTOR 6. Apply mathematical modeling techniques in designing a control system.
7. Tabulate poles and zeros of a system transfer function.
8. Design a stable system.
