This application presents the Lecture Notes & Solved Problems with Matlab assistance of two major Classical Automatic Control Course that are mainly taught worldwide in various Engineering Disciplines.
The Classical Control Approach is covered in two major courses, namely:
EE 417 - Automatic Control Engineering.
EE 418 - Automatic Control Systems.

The Intended Learning Outcomes are:
- Know why Engineers need to Study Automatic Control?
- What are the terms and definitions used in the field?
- Know how to represent Systems in a Mathematical Way in order to predict its Behavior
- Can we simplify huge plants into a cause and effect formula? Yes we can .. Let me show you How
- How can we tell if the system is going to behave in a mad way even without turning it on?
- Is the system going to be slow, moderate or fast ?
- Will the System Output finally follow my command?
- If we add an amplifier to the system, how will it behave?
- Controlling a known system – this is the way
- Controlling a Black Box system – piece of cake

The covered contents are:
- Introduction to Control Systems
- Modeling of Various Systems:
- Electrical / Mechanical / Electro-mechanical
- Block Diagram Reduction Techniques
- Signal Flow Graph
- Concept of Stability:
- Routh-Hurwitz Stability Criterion
- Transient Response of:
First and Second Order Systems
- Steady State Error Calculation and Analysis
- Root Locus Techniques
- Lead and Lag Compensators Design
- P.I.D Controllers and their parameters adjusting

In the end, I hope you will benefit the most from this application in your educational and practical life as an Engineer.

All the best wishes.
