MANE 4510 - Control Systems Laboratory - Spring 2025

Credit Hours: 2
Summary: Laboratory introduction to the design, analysis and interpretation of key components of an intelligent physical system: sensing, communication, computation, simulation, programming, and control. Modeling and simulation of physical phenomena. Design of control algorithms (e.g., PID, state feedback) applied to a variety of physical systems. Modeling systems from data. Analysis of data, algorithm development, and implementation in hardware, including nonlinear and hardware effects of discretization, delays, saturation, and sampling. Extensive use of MATLAB and Simulink.

Credit Hours: 4
Summary: An integrated development of modeling-and problem-solving techniques for particles and rigid bodies emphasizing the use of free-body diagrams, vector algebra, and computer simulation. Topics covered include the kinematics and kinetics of translational, rotational, and general plane motion, energy and momentum methods.
