Control Systems

Course title: Control Systems

Code: 3ФЕИТ01Л020

Weekly number of classes: 2 + 2 + 1 + 0

Prerequisite for enrollment of the subject: None

Course Goals (acquired competencies): This course will introduce the students to the basics of control systems and their models and representation. With successful course completion, the students will be able to identify and model systems, and to analyze their features and parameters by using computer tools and software such as MATLAB. The students will also be capable of designing simple controllers for such systems, and will be able to analyze their performances.

Total available number of classes: 180
