Course Overview

> After completion, the student should be able to: 

- Model a system based on differential equations and transform it
into a transfer function in the Laplace formalism.
- Use frequency analysis to be able to determine particular
properties (stability, gain and phase margins) in open or closed loop
system based on the Bode and Black Nichols diagrams.
- Design a controller in a feedback loop for a system in the Laplace
formalism based on specifications.
