MEE 570 - Advanced Control Systems


This course prepares students in the advanced topics in controls of engineering systems theory and design.  This course briefly reviews the introductory control system analysis concepts and then presents the methods for designing feedback controllers for ‘multi-input multi-output (MIMO)’ systems.  Next, ‘Nonlinear Control System’ extends the linear concepts presented to nonlinear systems and introduces topics such as Lyapunov stability criteria and Poincare maps. Following that ‘Optimal Control Theory’ will be introduced with key topics such as dynamic programming and the maximum principle. Students will carry out case studies in their projects that illustrate practical design of advanced control systems.
