ENGG 4490

This course introduces the theory and techniques required to analyze, design, and implement sampled data controllers on real, continuous time systems. Topics include sampling, system identification and modeling, delay, state-space and frequency domain approaches to control, emulation methods, and direct z-domain methods. In the course project, students will apply the techniques discussed in class to design and implement a computer based controller for a real physical system, then compare the actual results obtained to the expected theoretical results and discuss sources of error and limitations of their approach. [Restriction(s): This is a Priority Access Course. Enrolment may be restricted to the ESC specialization 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): College of Engineering]
