Teaching Method

Outline:

While we are not very aware of in our daily lives, almost every device, including cars, air conditioners, and refrigerators, have a automatic control function.　In this course, students will learn the basics of classical controls following Control Engineering I, such as the Routh and Hurwitz stability criterion methods and the design method of PID control systems, and also learn how to simulate the response of control systems by themselves.

Style:

They will learn how to determine the transient response of a system, and about stability margins and PID control designs. In addition, as an overall summary of the previous study on control engineering, we will explain and demonstrate how to verify the response of a control system based on a simulation.
In almost every class, after the content of the lesson is explained, there will be exercises to review the content.

Notice:

Students can expect a large amount of calculations to do in assignments and periodic exams. Therefore, they should actually think and solve exercise problems assigned as appropriate themselves, to get used to doing calculations. Also, because there will be many assignments and exercises, make efforts to finish them quickly.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
