Elements of Control

Analog system dynamics, open- and closed-loop control, block diagrams and signal flow graphs,
input-output relationships, stability analyses using Routh-Hurwitz, root-locus and Nyquist, timeand frequency-domain analysis and design of analog control systems. Use of computer-aided
analysis and design tools. Class project.
