ENGG 3440

Students will learn about dynamic process behaviour and process control strategies relevant to biological and environmental engineering, including how to analyze, model, predict and control processes in time and frequency domains. Performance and stability parameters will be illustrated with root locus diagrams. Control by on/off and proportional (and its advanced variants) controllers will be applied to feedback control problems including regulating physical and chemical properties, and biological and chemical reactions. This course includes experimental process control laboratory work and use of controller modeling software. [Restriction(s): This is a Priority Access Course. Enrolment may be restricted to the BIOE and ENVE specializations in the BENG and BENG:C programs. See department for more information. Non-BENG students may take a maximum of 4.00 ENGG credits.][Department(s): Department of Civil, Environmental, and Water Resources Engineering]
