Institution: B.S. Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute of Science and Technology
Course Instructor: Dr. P. Elangovan, Assistant Professor, Department of EEE

Summary:
This course introduces the foundational concepts and analysis techniques of control systems used in electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical domains. Students will explore both classical and state-space methods to model, analyze, and design control systems. Key topics include transfer functions, time and frequency response, system stability, compensator design, and state variable representation. The course emphasizes analytical thinking and practical applications that support sustainable engineering aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as Good Health (SDG 3), Decent Work (SDG 8), Industry Innovation (SDG 9), and Responsible Consumption (SDG 12).

Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  • Analyze and model physical systems using mathematical tools.

  • Evaluate system performance in time and frequency domains.

  • Assess system stability and design compensators to meet specified criteria.

  • Apply state space modeling to linear systems and analyze controllability and observability.
