9. Student behavior expectations Full attendance expected, except with prior-notified excuses On-time arrival Active participation – Ask questions – Answer questions from instructor or students Be cordial and considerate to students and TA Help each other in reviewing notes, HW, Matlab Promptly report/share problems/issues, including typos on slides, or misspoken words from instructor

10. Prohibited behaviors Any foul language or gestures Comments to other students that are discriminatory in any form Any harassments as defined by the university Academic dishonesty No alcohol, drugs, or any other illegal / improper substances

11. Accommodation/Assistance Please let me know if you – Have any special needs – Have disability in any form – Have any medical/mental/emergency conditions – Have field trip / interview – Have special requests – Want me to adjust lecture contents/pace Can also consult me if you – Would like to seek advice on any professional or personal issues – Would like to have certain confidential discussions

12. Collaboration And Helping Each Other For tasks intended for group work, you are expected to find a partner and share the tasks among the group members. In a group project, effective teamwork is critical to maximize the productivity of the whole group. In the submitted work, identify components and indicate percentage contribution by each member to each component. For tasks not intended for group work, individual submission is required. In this case, you are encouraged to discuss among your friends on how to attack problems. However, you should write your own solution. Copying other people’s work is strictly prohibited.

13. Academic dishonesty Cheating is a very serious offense. It will be dealt with in the most severe manner allowable under University regulations. If caught cheating, you can expect a failing grade and initiation of a cheating case in the University system. Basically, it’s an insult to the instructor, the department and major program, and most importantly, to the person doing the cheating. Just don't. If in doubt about what might constitute cheating, send e-mail to your instructor describing the situation. If you notice anyone cheating, please report it to the instructor or the TA. Do not deal with it yourself.

14. Discrimination State and Federal laws as well as Iowa State University policies prohibit any form of discrimination on the basis of race, color, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex, marital status, disability, or status as a U.S. veteran. Language or gestures of discriminatory nature will not be tolerated. Severe cases will be reported to appropriate offices. See ISU policies at http://www.hrs.iastate.edu/hrs/files/reaffirmation.pdf http://www.hrs.iastate.edu/hrs/files/reaffirmation.pdf Let us make every effort to work together and create a positive, collegial, caring, and all-supportive learning environment in our classroom, laboratory, TA office, and instructor office.

15. Disability accommodation Individuals with physical or mental impairments who are otherwise qualified to perform their work or pursue their studies may request reasonable accommodations to enable them to work or continue their studies. If you believe you have learning disability, you must contact Student Disability Resources at the Academic Success Center to initiate the accommodation process.Student Disability Resources

16. Accommodation for religion based conflicts Iowa State University welcomes diversity of religious beliefs and practices, recognizing the contributions differing experiences and viewpoints can bring to the community. Students with religion based conflict should talk to the instructor and appropriate university offices to request accommodations at the earliest possible time.

20. Control System Terminology Input - Excitation applied to a control system from an external source. Output - The response obtained from a system Feedback - The output of a system that is returned to modify the input. Error - The difference between the reference input and the output.

21. Negative Feedback Control System CONTROLLER CONTROLLED DEVICE FEEDBACK ELEMENT ++ + -

22. Types of Control Systems øOpen-Loop – Simple control system which performs its function with-out concerns for initial conditions or external inputs. – Must be closely monitored. øClosed-Loop (feedback) – Uses the output of the process to modify the process to produce the desired result. – Continually adjusts the process.

24. Advantages of a Closed-Loop Feedback System øIncreased Accuracy – Increased ability to reproduce output with varied input. øReduced Sensitivity to Disturbance – By self correcting it minimizes effects of system changes. øSmoothing and Filtering – System induced noise and distortion are reduced. øIncreased Bandwidth – Produces sat. response to increased range of input changes.

25. Major Types of Feedback Used øPosition Feedback – Used when the output is a linear distance or angular measurement. øRate & Acceleration Feedback – Feeds back rate of motion or rate of change of motion (acceleration) – Motion smoothing – Uses a electrical/mechanical device call an accelerometer
