Introduction
This unit is concerned with the analysis and design of feedback dynamic systems. Topics covered include modelling of physical processes from physical principles; analysis of the stability and performance of open and closed-loop linear systems; basic control designs using proportional, integral and derivative controllers, lead and lag controllers and other basic linear processes.

Unit Learning Outcomes
- 1 demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of linear dynamic systems, including their analysis, behaviour, and the application of feedback control principles to achieve desired system performance, GC1, GC3, GC6
- 2 simulate and verify the performance of simple control systems by integrating theoretical principles with practical implementations, ensuring that the simulated and verified system meets specified performance criteria, GC1, GC3, GC6
- 3 design, implement, and evaluate the performance of simple control systems to achieve specified performance criteria and address real-world constraints, GC1, GC2, GC6
- 4 develop, implement, and evaluate continuous-time control systems by applying classical design techniques and appropriate transformation methods, GC1, GC3, GC6
Course Learning Outcomes
- 1 Demonstrate a conceptual understanding of fundamental science, mathematics, data analytics, information science, and computing underpinning the broad field of engineering
- 2 Solve complex Industrial and Systems engineering problems of industrial and societal significance through the application of discipline-specific and integrated bodies of knowledge, design and sustainability principles
- 5 Select and use current and emerging technologies to develop and communicate effective and innovative engineering solutions to complex problems
