Learning Outcomes

This course has the objective of giving to the students a set of knowledge in order to allow him to analyze dynamical systems (continuous, SISO, linear and invariant in time) and to develop controllers according to the classical control systems theory:
- understand the fundamental concepts in the theory of dynamical systems;
- modeling continuous systems;
- characterize and analyze different systems;
- determine and analyze the response of linear systems in the time domain;
- obtain and analyze the root locus of linear systems;
- determine and analyze the response of linear systems in the frequency domain;
- analyze the stability of systems;
- develop controllers.
