The control systems design course examines the basic issues and theoretical foundation in the analysis and design of computer control systems for industrial applications. Topics include signals and sampled data systems, zero-order hold equivalent, linear systems theory, control system modeling, dynamic systems analysis and feedback control, controller design methods, system stability analysis using Jury's test, Nyquist criterion, and Lyapunov method, observability, reachability and controllers, performance analysis, robust control, output feedback, separation theorem, optimal control, and adaptive control systems.
