Control Engineering (Spring 2013)

Course code : ME-COE-U1
ECTS Credits : 10 Status : Compulsory
Placement : 4. semester Hours per week : 8
Length : 1 semester Teaching Language : English

Principal Content : Fundamental concepts in control systems with feedback. Formulation of models of physical systems. Differential equations. Linearization. Laplace transformation and transfer functions. Root-locus and frequency analysis. Basic design methods in both the frequency domain and the time domain. Stability. Applications of standard controllers and compensators. The theoretical results of the course will be illustrated by practical examples.

PLC, sensors, actuators, and their applications to intelligent manufacturing and mechatronic systems. Programmable Logic Controllers. Models of mixed engineering systems. Feedback control systems. PID controllers.
Teaching method : The pedagogy of the course is “problem-based learning”. Approximately half of the time allocated to the course will be used in guided project work in groups. The course projects will give the students an opportunity to apply basic concepts learned in the class to real life problems, and to learn new concepts in mechatronics that are not covered in the lectures.
There will be introductory and summing up lectures and the students will work in small groups with projects, problem solving, simulations and case studies.

Required prequisites : Mathematics & Modeling I (ME-MAM1) or equivalent
