2.1
Course Objectives:
1. To understand the use of transfer function models for the analysis of physical systems and
to introduce the components of control system.
2. To provide adequate knowledge in the time response of systems and steady state error
analysis along with the understanding of closed loop and open loop in frequency domain.
3. To introduce the design of compensators and controllers for the stability analysis.
4. To introduce state variable representation of physical systems and study the effect of
state feedback

Course Outcomes:
1. Differentiate real-time applications as open loop or closed loop systems.
2. Analyze the system from the transfer function.
3. Design of compensators and controllers and find the stability of these control systems.
4. Ability to compute steady state and transient response of the different order of the system
and also to analyze its error coefficients.
5. Analyze the frequency domain response of the control systems.
6. Apply various control systems concepts to analyze and find the stability of control
systems.
7. Analyze the observability of the system in state modeling.
