1. Course Description

2. Scope & Objective of the Course:

Feedback automatic control systems are an essential feature of numerous industrial processes, scientific instruments and even
commercial, social and management situations. A thorough understanding of the elementary principles of this all embracing
technology is of great relevance for all engineers and scientists. This course tries to bring out the basic principles of Feedback
Control Systems.
