After completion of this course, the students should be able to:

1. Explain the concept of feedback control [a2, a4]

2. Explain the concepts of stability and accuracy for control [a2]

3. Relate the zeros and poles of a system to its time response [a2]

4. Plot root-locus and Bode plots manually and by using Matlab [a2, k4]

5. Design lead, lag and lead-lag compensators for a given system to meet the given design specifications [c1, a2]

6. Design a control system by using both Bode plots and by root-locus using Matlab and prepare a written report [c1, g]
