Practical Control System Design: Classical & Modern Methods

In today’s rapidly evolving technological world, control systems are the backbone of countless innovations, powering everything from electric vehicles and aerospace systems to advanced robotics and industrial automation. The ability to design control systems, analyze control systems, and implement control strategies is no longer a specialized skill – it's a fundamental requirement for modern engineers.

This course, Practical Control System Design: Classical & Modern Methods, provides a complete roadmap to mastering control engineering using MATLAB, Simulink, and the MathWorks Control System Toolbox. We bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, offering a balanced approach unlike many courses that are either overly theoretical or overly simplistic.

What You’ll Learn:

• Solid Foundations in Classical Control: Gain a deep understanding of essential classical control methods, including PID control, Root Locus analysis, and Frequency Response analysis.
• Modern Control Techniques: Explore advanced modern control techniques such as State-Space Modeling, Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) design, and Kalman Filters.
• Hands-on MATLAB/Simulink Projects: Connect theoretical equations directly to practical MATLAB and Simulink simulations through engaging projects.
• Electromechanical System Design: Learn the practical design of electromechanical systems, starting with DC motor speed/current control and progressing to Field-Oriented Control (FOC) for AC machines.
• Advanced Optimization Workflows: Master advanced optimization workflows using LQ controllers, LQR design, and Kalman filter integration.
• Access to Course Resources: Benefit from access to all MATLAB and Simulink models used in the course – ready for modification, extension, and testing.
