ECE 321: CONTROL SYSTEM ENGINEERING

Programme: B. Tech. (ECE, CCE) Year : 2nd Semester: IV
Course : Core Credits: 3 Hours: 40

Course Context and Overview (100 words):

The objective of the control system engineering course is to provide students with an in-depth
understanding of control system concepts and its various engineering applications, with an
ability to independently face mathematical modelling of the control system design challenges.

Prerequisites Courses: To learn this subject, students should have knowledge of signals and
systems basic, Laplace transform, partial fractions and electrical circuit basics.

Course Outcomes (COs):

On completion of this course, the students will have the ability to:

To learn the mathematical modelling of physical (electrical and mechanical) systems in time
CO 1
and frequency domain.
To learn the concept of transfer function and find the transfer function of physical system
CO 2
using different techniques. Ex. block diagram reduction, signal flow graph, etc.
To learn the complete time analysis of physical system with respect to system stability in
CO 3 the time domain as well as frequency domain by different methods like Routh Hurwitz
criterion
CO 4 To learn the correlation between time and frequency response.
CO 5 To learn the concept of state, state variables and state model for continuous time systems
