Fundamentals of Control Systems Engineering Using MATLAB
The “Fundamentals of Control Systems Engineering Using MATLAB” course introduces the fundamentals of control systems engineering with a focus on modeling, analysis, and stability using MATLAB. It covers linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, time and frequency-domain response, and feedback system behavior.
Learners will study system representation using transfer functions and state-space models, along with the effect of poles and zeros on system response. Classical stability methods such as Routh–Hurwitz, Root Locus, and basic Nyquist concepts are also introduced.
MATLAB is used as a tool for modeling, simulation, and visualization of control systems, which are widely applied in industries such as robotics, automotive systems, aerospace, and industrial automation, where system modeling and stability analysis are essential for ensuring reliable performance.
By the end of the course, learners will be able to model basic control systems, analyze system behavior, and understand fundamental stability concepts using standard engineering tools.
