General Information

Overview

This unit will introduce you to control systems. You will describe control systems using appropriate terminology and concepts and use mathematical tools to model and analyse control systems and develop algorithms for discrete process control. You will interpret control system responses to standard inputs in order to develop system evaluation criteria, as well as interpreting continuous-time closed-loop system behaviour using time domain and frequency response methods. You will design compensators for closed-loop systems to meet given specifications and describe different approaches to discrete control using common system components and tools and present practical implementations of the controllers using passive and active circuits and discrete processes. You will document modeling and analysis of control systems in a professional manner, and work productively and professionally, both as an individual and as a member of a team. In this unit, you must complete compulsory practical activities. Refer to the Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle site for proposed dates.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites

Pre-requisite: ENAE12013 Electrical Components and Circuit Analysis

Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability.

Attendance Requirements

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
