Overview

This unit covers the nature and behaviour of simple components, processes and subsystems relevant to engineering control. Mechanical, electrical, fluid pressure devices and complete elementary control systems are included. Orientation is to predicting, examining and assessing system performance via the formation of mathematical models and solution of models. Laboratory experiments … For more content click the Read More button below.

Learning outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, you should be able to:
1.

Analyse the significance and relevance of systems and associated control in engineering.

2.

Generate mathematical formulations for linear models (and linearised non-linear systems) through classical and state space modelling techniques for Single Input Single Output (SISO) and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems.

3.

Apply analytical and computer-based control techniques to evaluate system's response, dynamic analysis and stability criteria.

4.

Appraise dynamic performance of systems in the time and frequency domains using the Bode plot, Root-locus and analyse through pictorial representations such as block diagrams, signal flow graphs and plots.

Teaching approach

Problem-based learning

Assessment summary

Continuous assessment: 40%

Final assessment: 60%

This unit contains hurdle requirements that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit.

Assessment

1 - Moodle quizzes
2 - Computer laboratories
3 - Mid-term test
4 - Final assessment
