This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the analysis and design of feedback control systems. Students will develop the mathematical foundations necessary to model, analyze, and design control systems for a variety of engineering applications. Topics include system dynamics, Laplace transforms, transfer functions, stability analysis, and graphical design techniques including root locus and frequency response methods.

Emphasis is placed on understanding the fundamental principles of feedback and how they enable systems to achieve desired performance specifications including tracking accuracy, disturbance rejection, and stability margins. The course bridges theoretical foundations with practical engineering applications through problem sets and design exercises. 

Capstone independent study project placing each student in a commercial, academic or government setting where he or she identifies a major cyber security problem, and explores and evaluates a solution that addresses it with realistic assumptions about the organizational context. The chosen problem must be approved by course instructor. Cross-listed with PUBP and CS 6727.
