This in-person undergraduate course provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of linear control systems. It covers system modeling, dynamic response, stability analysis, and classical control design techniques such as root-locus, Bode, and Nyquist methods. Students will learn how feedback influences system performance and how to design and tune controllers to achieve desired specifications. Practical examples and simulation exercises using MATLAB help bridge theory and real-world engineering applications.
