Automotive Control Systems

Graduate

This course will address advanced control design techniques for automotive systems. The interdisciplinary goal of this course is to present the application of control system design to engine operation and vehicle mechanics as well as the approaches for parameter/model identification and estimation of automotive systems. For graduate students in electrical engineering, this course will make it possible for them to access automotive models and to understand engine dynamics, both for the purposes of applying control design techniques. For graduate students in mechanical engineering, this course will provide a chance for them to learn how to apply advanced control design strategies to automotive systems. It is expected that, after taking this course, graduate students from both engineering fields will be able to address automotive control problems from interdisciplinary point of views and to complement expertise in their own areas.
