Description 1. To introduce engineering methodologies for the analysis and design of physical dynamical systems. 2. To develop electrical network modelling and analysis skills. 3. To develop a foundation in linear systems theory for subsequent modules in Control System Engineering, Signal Processing and Telecommunications. 4. To develop the engineering aspects of the mathematical machinery needed for the analysis and design of physical systems. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Learning Outcomes 1. Analyse linear electric circuits. 2. Analyse ACR block diagrams. 3. Identify first and second order FDLTI systems from their step responses. 4. Identify a rational transfer function from its Bode diagrams. 5. Solve and simulate linear ODE's with constant coefficients. 6. Numerically test a system for stability and stability margins. 7. Analyse quantitatively the quality of a feedback controller design. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
