ME 431 - Automatic Control Systems3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits Course Description This course provides an introduction to automatic controls used in mechanical engineering applications, including fluid power. Differential equations are used to model and analyze basic feedback control systems. Laboratory experiments are done using fluid power and electronic equipment. (coreq: ME 300 ) Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: • use Laplace transformation and selected linearization techniques
• develop mathematical models of selected systems
• determine system stability using the Routh and root locus techniques
• determine steady state errors due to reference and disturbance inputs
