Control Engineering (H6105Z)

Control Engineering

Module H6105Z

Module details for 2021/22.

15 credits

FHEQ Level 6

Module Outline

Using Matlab/Simulink as tools, this module teaches students some theoretical concepts, design methods and practical topics in control engineering. This module aims at bridging the gap between University education and the ability and skills required in a real working environment. After reviewing feedback control techniques and concepts, a number of lectures are given on five most commonly used design methods and on good engineering practice. Each student is assigned a unique design case study to complete. This is to mimic a consulting work in a company. Under the instructions and guidance from the tutor, each student will complete a few different designs for comparison and present some analysis and make a recommendation in a final report.

Module learning outcomes

Demonstrate understanding of the key aspects of systems analysis and control using state space and discrete control approaches.

Deploy appropriate methods to solve control engineering problems.

Apply a linearization method to a nonlinear system and extend the use of state-space analysis and control tools.

Evaluate control strategies’ performances on real systems using Matlab/Simulink.
