ME 482 Control System Analysis and Design (3 cr.)
Prerequisites:	ME 340
Textbooks:	R.C. Dorf and R.H. Bishop, Modern Control Systems, 10th Edition, Prentice Hall.
Description:	Classical feedback concepts, root locus, Bode and Nyquist techniques, state-space formulation, stability, design applications. Students may not receive credit for both ECE 382 and ME 482.
Goals:	To teach students more advanced concepts of linear system theory than in the two preceding courses. System modeling, identification, feedback, control and stability will be emphasized. This course is the third course in a sequence of courses on linear dynamic systems ME 330, ME 340, and ME 482).
