SYSE 511 - Control Engineering for System Engineers

Challenge-driven overview of the diversity of control paradigms for modern, dynamic engineering systems for realizing desired system behaviors.

Course Objectives: 
Topics include linear, nonlinear, optimal, robust, decentralized, and hierarchical control methods. Examples from aero-actuation, space, energy, thermal, chemical, and financial systems will be presented. Successful students will learn to:
• Classify the control frameworks presented in this course
• Select an effective control paradigm for a particular engineering challenge
• Integrate a control system technique into an engineering system model
• Create MATLAB-based code and Simulink-based implementations for the primary control methods presented in this course
