Introduces numerical methods and control systems theory. Students are exposed to root finding, numerical integration and differentiation, numerical solutions to ODEs, curve fitting and regression techniques, classical control system theory methods (Laplace transforms and transfer functions, root locus design, Routh-Hurwitz stability analysis, Bode and Nyquist plots) and the state variable method (controllability and observability).
Prerequisites: ENGR 311, ENGR 321, (MATH 264 or MATH 266), and COMP 170.
Outcomes: Understand the concepts of numerical methods, their strengths and weaknesses; Use MATLAB as a numerical analysis tool; Apply Laplace transforms and transfer functions. Employ the state variable method.
