Course Description:

This is a new course for the Spring 2008 semester. The course is listed as EENG 4020 Advanced Topics II. The topic is Modern Control Systems.
This course is organized around the concept of control systems theory as it has been developed in the frequency and time domains. It provides coverage of classical control, employing root locus design, frequency and response design using Bode and Nyquist plots. It also covers modern control methods based on state variable models including pole placement design techniques with full-state feedback controllers and full-state observers. Many examples throughout will provide students ample opportunity to apply the theory to the design and analysis of control systems. Computer-aided design and analysis will be incorporated using Matlab/Simulink and/or C/C++.
Alternate weeks will have a Lab Experiment. The Lab Experiments will use LabView, MultiSim and hardware implementation and testing. Each Lab Experiment will also have a detailed report required. Reports will also be required for the computer projects.
The course will have quizzes, homework problems, computer projects, lab projects and a final exam.

C = 70 – 79
D = 60 – 69
F = < 60

• Students are encouraged to discuss class material, homework, programming assignments and lab experiments in order to better understand concepts. However, all of the work you turn in should be your own.  Direct copying of a solution (from a friend or a book) will be considered as plagiarism and a violation of the University Honor Code.
• Programming assignments/reports are due one week after the assignment date (at the beginning of the class). Late reports will not be accepted unless there is a real emergency. These reports should state the problem, state your approach, what you did, present your program, report any problems, how you solved the problems and your results and conclusions. (NOTE: All code shall be well documented.)
• Lab Experiments/reports are due one week after the lab date (at the beginning of the class). Late reports will not be accepted unless there is a real emergency. These reports should state the problem, state your approach, what you did, present your results, report any problems, how you solved the problems and your results and conclusions. (NOTE: Any LabView or MultiSim code shall be well documented.)
• Homework assignments are to be turned in at the beginning of class on the due date. Late homework is not accepted unless there is a real emergency.
• All students are responsible for announcements made in lecture, on the student access web site or via the class e-mail list.
