Control Systems Engineering by
Highly regarded for its accessible writing and practical case studies, Control Systems Engineering is the most widely adopted textbook for this core course in Mechanical and Electrical engineering programs. This new sixth edition has been revised and updated with 20% new problems and greater emphasis on computer-aided design. Close the loop between your lectures and the lab! Integrated throughout the Nise text are 10 virtual experiments, which enable students to implement the design-simulate-prototype workflow of practicing engineers. Powered by LabVIEW software and simulations of Quanser's lab plants, the virtual labs enable students to apply concepts to virtual systems, implement control solutions and evaluate their results. The virtual labs deepen the homework learning experience and prepare students to make more effective use of their time in the lab. Empower your students to take control of their learning with virtual labs accessible anywhere internet is available! Visit www.quansercontrollabs.com for additional information related to Quanser.

This study guide supplements the detailed information in the course textbook: Control Systems Engineering, by Norman S. Nise. It presents key points about Control Systems from the text and other sources, plus information from the instructor’s experience, in bulletized lists. It covers Chapter 1, Introduction, followed by the two main approaches to control systems: Chapter 2 on Frequency-Domain Modeling, and Chapter 3 on Time-Domain Modeling. Then, Chapter 4, Time Response, and Chapter 6, Stability, are examined. Internet video and other resources related to these topics are included.
The Study Guide also presents material and topics that put automatic controls in proper perspective with respect to 21st century systems, including those where human operators are involved. Case studies show how control systems are developed, prototyped, built, fielded, and adjusted. They also show how systems can go wrong when they are improperly designed or implemented, especially when human factors play a role.
