ME 357System Dynamics
Mathematical modeling and analysis of linear dynamic systems; performance and design of simple controllers. M E 357 System Dynamics (3)This course is to explore the modeling of linear systems via transfer functions and state-space models; analysis of systems in the time and frequency domain using transfer functions and stat-space models; development of control techniques based on PID. The use of software Matlab and Simulink is another emphasis. Students are evaluated through the use of written exams during the semester, a comprehensive written final, weekly homework assignments, and a design project. This course is required in the ME BD program at Behrend, integrates material from a number of previous courses, and provides the student with tools that will be used in a number of subsequent courses.
