8. OBJECTIVES On completion of EE 475, the student will be able to do the following either by hand or with the help of computation tools such as Matlab: Define the basic terminologies used in controls systems Explain advantages and drawbacks of open-loop and closed loop control systems Obtain models of simple dynamic systems in ordinary differential equation, transfer function. Compute and present in graphical form the output response of control systems to typical test input signals Explain the relationship between system output response and transfer function characteristics or pole/zero locations Determine the stability of a closed-loop control systems using the Routh- Hurwitz criteria Analyze the closed loop stability and performance of control systems based on open-loop transfer functions using the Root Locus technique Design/Tune PID or lead-lag compensator to improve the closed loop system stability and performance using the Root Locus technique Analyze the closed loop stability and performance of control systems based on open-loop transfer functions using the frequency response techniques Design PID or lead-lag compensator to improve the closed loop system stability and performance using the frequency response techniques.
