Select one of the options below:
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
(CBE 430 or ECE 411 or MECH 417); (MATH 229 or MATH 369).. Credit not allowed for both SYSE 511 and SYSE 580A1
Dr. Daniel Herber is an Assistant Professor in the Systems Engineering Department at Colorado State University. His research interests are in the areas of computational design, design optimization, digital engineering, model-based systems engineering, system architecture synthesis, and combined physical and control system design (control co-design) concentrated around the development of novel theory and tools for integrated design methods conducive to emerging and dynamic engineering systems. His work has involved several engineering application domains, including the design of wind/wave/hydrokinetic energy systems, energy storage/generation, aero-actuation systems, thermal management networks for aircraft, and more, and continues to expand. His projects are frequently collaborative and have involved the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Air Force Research Laboratory, Woodward, Deere & Company, and the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Dr. Herber studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, earning his B.S. in General Engineering in 2011 and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Systems and Entrepreneurial Engineering in 2014 and 2017, respectively. He held a postdoctoral position (2018-2019) with the NSF Engineering Research Center for Power Optimization for Electro-Thermal Systems (POETS).
