outline Course Objective: To provide a basic
understanding of the concepts and
How does an techniques involved in designing control
NPTEL online schemes for dynamic systems.
course work? Learning Outcomes: At the end of this
course, one should possess in-depth
Pre-requisite knowledge of concepts from classical
Assignment control theory, understand the concept of
transfer function and use it for obtaining
system response, analyze dynamic
systems for their stability and
performance, and design controllers
(such as Proportional-Integral-Derivative)
based on stability and performance
requirements.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Undergraduate

engineering students (electrical
engineering, electronics engineering,
mechanical engineering, aerospace
engineering, chemical engineering,
automobile engineering )

PREREQUISITES: 2nd year

undergraduate students in engineering.
Prefer that they have completed a course
on engineering mathematics that teaches
complex variables and Laplace
transform.

CERTIFICATE
The course is free to enroll and learn from. But if you want a certificate, you have to register
and write the proctored exam conducted by us in person at any of the designated exam
centres.
The exam is optional for a fee of Rs 1000/- (Rupees one thousand only).
Date and Time of Exams: 18 October 2020 Morning session 9am to 12 noon; Afternoon
Session 2pm to 5pm.
Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for
registrations.
The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid.
More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are
any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions
you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12
assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE

>=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get
the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.
