Course Learning Outcomes
|
The students that complete this course will be able to:
Determine the stability of LTI discrete-time systems (using
time-domain and frequency-domain techniques)
Assess the transient response of sampled-data feedback control
systems (using time-domain and frequency-domain techniques)
Assess the steady-state response of sampled-data feedback control
systems (using time-domain and frequency-domain techniques)
Design compensator (controller) for sampled-data feedback
control systems (using time-domain and frequency-domain techniques)
Plan schedules for the implementation of control software based
on cyclic executives and static priority assignments.
|
Prerequisites: |
ELEC372 (Fundamentals of Control Systems) or AERO371 (Modelling and Control Systems);
and ELEC342 (Discrete-Time Signals and Systems) or ELEC 364 (Signals and Systems II)
|
Graduate Attributes (ELEC483): |
As part of any undergraduate engineering program, students
progressively learn a set of graduate attributes. In some courses, theses attributes are also assessed directly. The attribute
covered and assessed in ELEC483 is design, broadly defined as an ability to design solutions for complex, open-ended engineering problems and to design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate attention to health and safety risks, applicable standards, and economic, environmental, cultural and societal
considerations. Students learn to do the following:
- Idea generation and selection,
- Detailed design, and
- Validation and implementation.
The above attribute and indicators are taught throughout the course and are assessed using the final exam
and lab activities.

Assignments/Lab/Project
Lab (ELEC483): |
- Consists of lab experiments
based on
Quanser AERO. The experiments include
design, simulation and implementation of digital control systems.
- ELEC483 Lab
location: H-832-02.
- Lab coordinator: Dan Li (H851-03, dan.li@concordia.ca)
- Repeating students must do the lab.
- Lab schedules will be posted on Moodle.
|
Assignments: |
Problem statements will be posted on Moodle.
Assignments (in pdf format) should be returned on Moodle.
Late assignments will not be accepted. Submissions via email will not be accepted.
|
MATLAB: |
Some of the assignments and labs/projects require the use of MATLAB and Simulink. Details of the latest version of MATLAB
and Simulink
can be found from the online help desk:
http://www.mathworks.com/help/index.html
|
Expectations of Originality:
|
All weekly assignments, project and lab reports must comply with the
requirements of the
"Expectations of Originality" form.
This form concerns the issue of academic integrity.
|
The students must read and fill
out one copy of the form, and submit it on Moodle
by Jan. 31, 2024. |
Furthermore, the students are strongly encouraged to visit
the following web page:
http://www.concordia.ca/students/academic-integrity.html.
|
Exams and Grading
Midterm Exam:
| In class.
|
---|
Time: Wednesday, March 13, 2024, 14:45 - 16:00.
|
No make-up test will be provided for the midterm.
|
Grading schemes:
| |   A  
|   C
|
---|
Assignments | 10%   | 10%
|
Lab/Project | 15%   | 15%
|
Midterm Exam   | 25%   |   0%
|
Final Exam | 50%   | 75%
|
Remarks: |
- Final grade = max(A,C).
- The assignments with the two lowest grades will not be counted towards the overall assignment grade.
- Important: Obtaining at least 7.5/15 in lab/project is required for a passing grade in the course.
- Important: Obtaining at least 37.5/75.0 for midterm + final is required for a passing grade in the course.
