Automatic Control Automatic Control

ABOUT THE COURSE:

Automatic Control is the theory used in

various applications, for example,
manufacturing of a product, refrigeration
and air conditioners, aircraft, missile,
satellite launching, etc. The study of a
dedicated course is required to understand
the fundamental and advance concepts of
automatic controls for engineers and
designers. This course is of basic level. It
introduces design and modelling of a control
system, theory of transfer functions, poles,
zeros, block diagram algebra, transient Join
response analysis of first and second order
systems, stability and Routh’s criteria, error
analysis, PID control, root locus techniques,
compensation techniques, introduction to
the state space method and application of
MATLAB in automatic control.

INTENDED AUDIENCE:
UG students of Mechanical, Electrical,
Automobile, Production, Aerospace, Civil
Engineering and equivalent.

CORE/ELECTIVE:Elective

UG/PG: UG

PREREQUISITES: Completed first year of

BE/BTech.
