Learning Outcomes (Dublin Descriptors)

On successful completion of this course, the student should

On successful completion of this module, the student should:
have knowledge and understanding of characteristics and properties regarding feedback control systems
have knowledge and understanding of frequency- and time-domain modeling frameworks for feedback control systems
have knowledge and understanding of stability, transient and steady-state properties of feedback control systems, as well as metrics for characterising such properties
have knowledge and understating of methods for designing controllers of feedback control systems, both in frequency and time-domains, both in the analog and digital cases
demonstrate capacity to design a control system architecture and a controller given a dynamical model of a plant and a set of specifications to be satisfied
demonstrate capacity, when designing a control system architecture and a controller, to relate the design choices to practical constraints and performance metrics induced by a specific application domain
be able to browse quickly or read carefully both technical and scientific papers or to attend conferences and seminars to increase his knowledge by choosing topics he may be interested in.

Prerequisites and Learning Activities

Mathematical analysis

Assessment Methods and Criteria

Written and oral tests. The written test consists of two applicative exercises and one theoretical question, and will last 2 hours. The oral test will be held the same day of the written test. No computers, books, or notes are allowed.
