EMT 4203: CONTROL ENGINEERING II

Prerequisites: EMT 4102 Control Engineering I

Course Purpose
The aim of this course is to enable the student to understand the internal structure of control systems.

Expected Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, the learner should be able to;
i) Design state feedback controller and state observer using state space techniques
ii) Convert continuous system to a discrete system using Z transforms
iii) Analyse stability of discrete systems
iv) Design controllers and observers for discrete systems
