BMM3613: Automatic Control (2012) 1

 Course Synopsis
This course introduces linear time-invariant (LTI)
control system modeling, analysis and design.

The covered topics are frequency domain

modeling of mechanical, electrical and electro-
mechanical systems; time response analysis,
stability analysis and steady-state analysis; control
system analysis and design using root-locus and
frequency response techniques.

 Course Outcomes
1. Understand the basic control system concepts and illustrate
the required control system into block design process
2. Develop frequency domain transfer function of linear time -
invariant (LTI) control systems for electrical, mechanical and
electro-mechanical systems
3. Solve and analyze the transient response, steady-state
response and system stability of LTI control system
4. Solve and analyze and design control system compensators to
achieve specified control system performances utilizing root-
locus technique
5. Solve and analyze and design control system compensators to
achieve specified control system performances utilizing
frequency response technique
