Modelling of Engineered Systems

Undergraduate

First- and second-order linear ordinary differential equations and methods for solving them, with applications to system modeling, simulation, analysis, and control. Topics include Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) systems, impulse response, convolution, transfer functions, Laplace transforms, and frequency-domain analysis. Feedback fundamentals, stability analysis using Routh-Hurwitz, root locus, Bode and Nyquist methods, and classical controller design techniques such as lead, lag, lead-lag, and PID control are covered, with applications to mechanical, electrical, and structural systems. Course Format: Lectures, lab, 6 hours per week Restrictions: Open to BEng majors. Prerequisite(s): PHYS 1P95, MATH 1P08, MATH 1P13
