Physiological Control Systms

4.0 credits

This course introduces students to the theory and practice of control systems engineering. Topics include frequency domain modeling, time domain stability, transient and steady-state error analysis, root locus and frequency response techniques and feedback system design. Emphasis is placed on analyzing physiological control systems, but the concepts and design techniques are applicable and applied to a wide variety of other systems including mechanical and electrical systems. Graduate students will have more homework problems and additional exam problems.
