Module Outline
Using Matlab/Simulink as tools, this module teaches students some theoretical concepts, design methods and practical topics in control engineering. This module aims at bridging the gap between University education and the ability and skills required in a real working environment. After reviewing feedback control techniques and concepts, a number of lectures are given on five most commonly used design methods and on good engineering practice. Each student is assigned a unique design case study to complete. This is to mimic a consulting work in a company. Under the instructions and guidance from the tutor, each student will complete a few different designs for comparison and present some analysis and make a recommendation in a final report.

Please note that the University will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver courses and modules in accordance with the descriptions set out here. However, the University keeps its courses and modules under review with the aim of enhancing quality. Some changes may therefore be made to the form or content of courses or modules shown as part of the normal process of curriculum management.
The University reserves the right to make changes to the contents or methods of delivery of, or to discontinue, merge or combine modules, if such action is reasonably considered necessary by the University. If there are not sufficient student numbers to make a module viable, the University reserves the right to cancel such a module. If the University withdraws or discontinues a module, it will use its reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable alternative module.
