This course introduces the theory and techniques required to analyze, design, and implement sampled data controllers on real,
continuous time systems. Topics include sampling, system identification and modeling, delay, state-space and frequency domain
approaches to control, emulation methods, and direct z-domain methods. In the course project, students will apply the techniques
discussed in class to design and implement a computer based controller for a real physical system, then compare the actual
results obtained to the expected theoretical results and discuss sources of error and limitations of their approach.
