Course Objectives:
I. To understand the use of transfer function models for the analysis of physical systems and
to introduce the components of control system.
II. To provide adequate knowledge in the time response of systems and steady state error
analysis along with the understanding of closed loop and open loop in frequency domain.
III. To introduce the design of compensators and controllers for the stability analysis.
IV. To introduce state variable representation of physical systems and study the effect of
state feedback

Expected Course Outcome:

2. Analyze the system from the transfer function
3. Design the compensators and controllers and find the stability of these control systems.

6. Apply various control systems concepts to analyze and find the stability of control
systems.
7. Analyse the observability of the system in state modeling.
