COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course (EE 314 – FEEDBACK &CONTROL SYSTEM ANALYSIS) provides
adequate breadth and depth in analysis of basic control systems applicable to
the Electrical engineering discipline. It introduces the students in some of the
concepts used in designing control systems and methodologies used in
analyzing its performance. The course starts with the introduction of concepts
and terminologies used in the field of controls and ways to mathematically
models physical systems. It then covers common analytical techniques such as
Block Diagram Analysis and Signal Flow Graphs. Time response and frequency
response analysis and techniques are also included to be able to describe the
performance of a control systems.

FINAL COURSE OUTPUT:
The students are given problem sets and/or case studies at the end of each
chapter. They are required to provide a (handwritten or computerized) detailed
analysis along with their personal assessments as solution to the problems
presented to them applying the knowledge and concepts presented related to the
problem or topic at hand.

CLASS POLICIES:
The following policies will be observed during the class throughout the entire
semester:
1. The students will use the modules crafted by their instructor/professor that are
intended for their course learning.
5. Students are responsible for whatever is taken up during the class, in the case
of either using modules and/or adopting flexible learning. Read, study the
modules and comply with the activities set by the instructor/professor. In case
of having online classes, students have the option to attend live online classes
(synchronous) and/or watch recorded course videos. However, class
attendance during live online classes is not a requirement for grading, for not
every student has a decent internet connection. Note that every student must
not be left behind; every student needs to learn successfully even in these
trying times.
6. Students are free to choose to study the course in a manner, time and place
that suit them best, provided that they will still comply with their activity
submissions.
8. Students can chat, send SMS or call their instructor/professor if they have
questions regarding their lessons. It is highly encouraged to ask them during
their consultation hours.
