About the Course

In this course, you'll explore modeling of dynamic systems and feedback control. The course begins with an introduction of control theory and the application of Laplace transforms in solving differential equations, providing a strong foundation in linearity, time-invariance, and dynamic system modeling. The following week will delve into the laws governing the modeling of dynamic systems, with a focus on deriving differential equations from fundamental principles like Newton's laws and Kirchhoff's laws, as well as mastering the representation of systems as transfer functions in the Laplace domain. The third week delves deeper into Laplace transforms, emphasizing initial/final value theorems, block diagram manipulation, and dynamic response analysis. Moving into the fourth week, you'll learn to analyze system performance using transient step response specifications, enabling you to assess and optimize system behavior effectively. Finally, in the fifth week, you'll explore Bounded-Input Bounded-Output (BIBO) stability and Routh's stability criterion, gaining the skills to assess, analyze, and design stable systems. By the course's end, you'll be well-equipped to navigate the intricacies of control systems and dynamic modeling....

Fairly good class. Students with experience in diff eqs should find it challenging. I would recommend creating extra material in using software like Mathematica or Matlab to help solve problems.

Coursera did not recognize this class as a Coursera-plus class even though they advertised as such. Took 3 weeks to resolve. The following on class listed at complete "Frequency Domain" links do not lead anywhere. If Routh stability matrix is taught, should show how to use symbolic computer programs to calculate. Notes not provide and when presenting math equations instructor moves to fast to copy. This is only true control systems course I could find on Coursera. 4-star course, 1-star Coursera --> 3 stars.

As an engineer who has taken this course as a refresher, I found Dr. Pao's lectures to be excellent, clear and she presented exactly what I needed. The assignments were challenging (Matlab helps). The last assignment present a graph output of a step function where the amplitude of the step was 2. If one measures (I did so precisely with a mm ruler on a blown up image) the rise time, the peak time and the time to 1% steady state, one ends up with 3 very different values for the natural frequency of the system. This leads to confusion and varying result. This question could be replaced with something that renders consistent results.
