Learning outcomes
Appreciate the significance and relevance of systems and associated control in engineering.
Formulate and manipulate input-output representations of various linear dynamic systems such as transfer functions, state-space models and block diagrams.
Calculate the response of input-output systems as in time-domain and frequency-domain analytically and numerically.
Analyse the stability and dynamic performance of a feedback system using root locus, Bode plot and Nyquist methods, and apply these tools to design controller parameters to achieve the desired dynamic response.
Discern the effects of non-linearity in systems and identify the limitations of the use of linear models as approximations.
Teaching approach
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.
