| Outcomes |
Students are able to model dynamical systems in both time and frequency domains; perform analysis and design using state feedback concepts; understand advances in the field of modern control theory; communicate effectively with others; undertake continuous learning and realise that an understanding of fundamentals can maintain currency. |
| Content |
This unit covers modelling—state-space equations (MIMO, continuous and discrete), linearisation; transfer functions and similarity transformations; some standard useful realisations (canonical forms); discretisation of state-space equations; introduction to sampled-data systems; analysis—Lyapunov stability, controllability, observability and minimality; effects of discretisation on stability, controllability and observability; design-controller and observer design concepts—pole-placement techniques. |
| Assessment |
This consists of an examination, tests and laboratory reports. The examination assesses students' understanding of modern control theory. The tests, in addition to providing continuous assessment, help students to monitor their own progress during the semester. Laboratory experiments are based on MATLAB and are designed to help students understand the basics of modern control concepts taught in the lectures. The laboratory reports assess students' understanding of the modern control concepts.
Supplementary assessment is not available in this unit except in the case of a bachelor's pass degree student who has obtained a mark of 45 to 49 and is currently enrolled in this unit, and it is the only remaining unit that the student must pass in order to complete the course. |

- The availability of units in Semester 1, 2, etc. was correct at the time of going to press but may be subject to change.
- Assistance with study skills, including English language skills, is available free of charge from Student Services for all enrolled students (see http://www.studentservices.uwa.edu.au/ss/learning). Student Services location: Second Floor, South Wing, Guild Village; telephone: 6488 2423.
- Books and other materials wherever listed may be subject to change. Book lists relating to 'Preliminary Reading', 'Recommended Reading' and 'Textbooks' are, in most cases, available at the University Co-operative Bookshop (from early January) and appropriate administrative offices for students to consult. For first-year units the Bookshop will endeavour to make available photocopies of book lists for individual units. Books marked with an asterisk (*) are available in paperback.
