WHY
• This course introduces advanced control techniques, including design tools which allow the designer
to tailor the system to the required specifications. This course still focuses only on LTI systems –
BUT we do evaluate linearization as a method to apply tools to nonlinear systems.

• We focus on the time domain models of systems and use tools such as pole placement, state
estimation, observers and optimization.

• Students are expected learn, understand and apply the standard tools of design and analysis for SISO
systems. Matlab is an integral part of this process.

• Matlab is emphasized in this course.

WHAT
• This course is a continuation to concepts taught in Modern Control Systems.

• SISO (single input, single output) – LTI (linear time invariant) systems

– Focus primarily on the time domain

– Mathematical Models of Systems
• Differential equations
• State Space
– Approximating nonlinear systems through linearization
– Shaping responses through pole placement
– Estimating unknown states
– Observer design
– Optimization using the Linear Quadratic Regulator method
– Etc.
