Description

This module gives a solid theoretical foundation for understanding feedback, control analysis and design and is suitable for all engineers. This is supported by analysis and design activities within PC laboratories and on laboratory hardware. Content covers basic analysis and motivation for feedback loops using both time domain and frequency domain techniques. Learning is reinforced through computer laboratories using industry standard software. The latter part of the course focuses on common feedback strategies and students will learn both analysis and design of these and reinforce learning through application to laboratory systems.
