 ALLAH (Azzawajal) says in Holy Quran:

“Read in the name of your Lord who created”

“Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood”
“Read, and your Lord is the most Generous”
“Who taught by the pen”
“Taught man that which he knew not.”
(Holy Qur’an 96:1-5)

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
said:
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of
Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “He who goes forth in
search of knowledge is considered as struggling in the Cause of
Allah until he returns.”
[At-Tirmidhi].

CLO Description BT Level PLOs

After the completion of the course the students will be able to:

1. Describe usefulness of control systems, find dynamic model of basic C2 1

mechanical and electrical systems, and convert these models in to
transfer functions and state space form
2. Analyze systems for stability, steady state and transient response. C4 2
3. Design compensators/controllers using root locus, poles placement C5 3
and frequency response methods to achieve desired performance
from systems. Evaluate the efficiency of the controller.

What is a Control System?
Control is the process of making a system variable adhere
to a particular value, called the reference value.

In the early 1960s a new CS design method
referred to as modern CS theory appeared.
