This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and applications of control systems in mechanical engineering. Students will learn modeling techniques for dynamic systems, analysis of system stability, and design of feedback controllers (PID, state-space). The curriculum covers both classical and modern control theories, with practical applications in automation, robotics, and industrial processes.

Key topics include:

Mathematical modeling of mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical systems

Time and frequency domain analysis

Stability criteria (Routh-Hurwitz, Nyquist, Bode)

Controller design and tuning methods

Digital control systems and real-time implementation

Through hands-on labs and simulations, students will apply theoretical concepts to real-world engineering problems. The course emphasizes problem-solving skills and prepares students for advanced studies or careers in automation, mechatronics, and control engineering.
