Automatic Control Systems

Office Hours: Talk to me after class or email me in order to set up an appointment.

Textbook:

  • K. Ogata, Ingeniería de Control Moderna, Pearson, México, D.F., 2010.
  • Norman N. Nise, Control Systems Engineering, Sixth Edition, Jhon Wiley and Sons, USA, 2013.
  • W. Bolton, Ingeniería de Control, 2da. Edición, Alfaomega, México, D.F., 2001.


Course Objectives: The course will involve understanding the basic methods and theory behing the control of linear systems/processes from the time-domain and frequency-domain viewpoint. The state-space framework is also considered for control design. It is emphasized on the practical application of the subjects to the analysis and design of feedback systems in order to get practice and experience in solving practical engineering problems.
