Course Title: Control System I Laboratory
Type of Course: Compulsory, Sessional
Offered to: EEE
Pre-requisite Course(s): None
The sessional course will be conducted in two parts. In the first part of the sessional course, the students will perform experiments in relevance with the EEE 317. In the second part of the course, the students will perform design projects related to EEE 317 course contents to achieve specific program outcomes.
To provide basic knowledge of modelling physical systems, principles of feedback control and limitations of real control devices.
To provide hands-on training to design, implement and test control algorithms using Matlab and Simulink
To provide hands-on training to accomplish a control system project that includes writing a proposal, purchasing parts for controllers and actuators, building the system, testing, demonstration, and writing a final report
Fundamental understanding of concepts of continuous signals and linear systems

Class participation will be judged by in-class evaluation; attendance will be recorded in every class.
Continuous assessment will be done in the form of laboratory tasks, assignments, laboratory-tests, report writing and viva.
A group project on the design and implementation of control systems has to be completed by the end of this course. A project report has to be submitted and the project has to demonstrated and presented in the class.
To be decided by course instructor(s)
