COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course presents an introduction to feedback control systems. It is aimed at setting up the background and knowledge in control systems. Control systems have importance in all fields of engineering. The objective is to provide the student with the basic concepts of control theory as developed over the years in both frequency and time domain.
