Office Hours: Tuesdays: 10 – 11 AM and 2 – 3 PM Thursdays: 10 – 11 AM Course Objectives: The primary objective of this course is to introduce the students with:

the subject of feedback control systems; modeling of dynamical systems; analysis of single input–single output (SISO) systems and their components; the linear behavior of systems and their components; the derivation of input–output relationships, using ordinary differential equations and Laplace transforms; definition of design requirements for control systems; design of controllers for SISO systems to meet design requirements. There will be tutorial sessions and laboratory experiments that will provide students the opportunities to ask questions about specific sample problems and become familiar with the control theories and experiments.

Course Outcomes: Students who successfully pass the course have reliably gained the ability:

to carry out analysis and synthesis of linear feedback systems using classical state space techniques.

to model control systems in a wide variety of engineering scenarios.

to perform stability and steady–state analyses of dynamic systems to understand the characteristics of feedback control systems. to work with the PID control laws and be able to design systems

using frequent response methods and the root locus technique. to apply the theory established in the course to some common

systems that incorporate active control systems. to use software and computer tools for the design and simulation of

control systems.

Attendance: It is absolutely IMPORTANT that all students must attend every

sessions of lectures, labs and tutorials.

PowerPoint of lectures posted on Blackboard may not cover all the course materials. It is needless to highlight the key role of attendance in the success of each student. If you miss a class on a particular day, it is your responsibility to find out what materials were covered in that lecture and which problems were either been solved or assigned.

Exam topics and problems are drawn from the materials that have been covered in all the lectures and tutorials.

Assignments: FIVE assignments will be given throughout the semester, due on the date

and time indicated on each assignment. NO late assignments will be accepted unless being approved by the instructor. Solutions to the assignments, practice problems and the mid-term exam questions will be posted on Blackboard. MATLAB© will be used in solving the problems and assignments.

Term Project: One term project on the design of a control system will be given. Details

will be discussed in the class with the end of the term submission deadline. This is an important part of the course learning and practice.

Laboratory: Five Lab Manuals for five experiments in control systems will be posted

on Blackboard prior to the start of each Lab. Groups will be formed and the attendance for every member of the group is MANDATORY.

The time-table for every lab experiments and group numbers will be posted on Blackboard.

Lab #1 Modelling: Motor Static Relations, Motor Parameter Estimation

Lab #2 Dynamic Models: Experimental Determination of System Dynamics

Lab #3 Qualitative properties of PI control experiment

Lab #4 Speed control experiment

Lab #5 Position control: PD, PI and PID controllers experiment

2 Mid-Term Exams: The first mid–term exam is on Tuesday October 13, 2015 and written

during the Lecture Session. The Second mid–term exam is on Saturday November 14, 2015 from

12pm – 2pm and written in UB 2080, UA 1140, and UA 1240. Topics covered in exam will be discussed prior to the exam, and will reflect the materials covered in the lectures, tutorials, assignments, laboratories, and the textbook.

Final Exam: The final exam is comprehensive. It is a three–hour closed-book written

exam. The final exam will reflect all the materials covered in the lectures, textbook, tutorials, labs, and the assignments.

encourages integration and equality of opportunity. Reasonable academic accommodation may require instructors to exercise creativity and flexibility in responding to the needs of students with disabilities while maintaining academic integrity.

Academic Integrity and Conduct:

UOIT is committed to the fundamental values of preserving academic integrity as defined in UOIT policies and contained in the UOIT Calendar.

Students and faculty at UOIT share an important responsibility to maintain the integrity of the teaching and learning relationship. This relationship is characterized by honesty, fairness and mutual respect for the aim and principles of the pursuit of education. Academic misconduct impedes the activities of the university community and is punishable by appropriate disciplinary action.

Students are expected to be familiar with UOIT's regulations on Academic Conduct (Section 5.15 of the Academic Calendar) which sets out the kinds of actions that constitute academic misconduct, including plagiarism, copying or allowing one's own work to copied, use of unauthorized aids in examinations and tests, submitting work prepared in collaboration with another student when such collaboration has not been authorized, and other academic offences. The regulations also describe the procedures for dealing with allegations, and the sanctions for any finding of academic misconduct, which can range from a written reprimand to permanent expulsion from the university. A lack of familiarity with UOIT's regulations on academic conduct does not constitute a defense against its application.
