The students should be able to:
Build mathematical models mechanical, electrical, thermal, fluidic and other processes.
Select suitable modes of control like On-off, P, PI, PD, PID controllers and design such controllers using a number of methods
Build mathematical models of distributed-parameter systems, determine and use lumped parameter approximations for such systems.
Build mathematical models of a number of actuators and measurement devices. Understand practical constraints.
Understand the effects of and cope with pure time delay in a control loop, compensate for time-delay
Decide and use different control architectures such as single-loop, cascade, disturbance feedforward, feedforward-feedback and Internal Model Control architectures,
Design, set up and conduct experiments with pilot scale industrial processes.
