3.Course Outcomes

Through this course, the students should be familiar with and develop an understanding of the following topics:

• Mathematical models of systems
• Differential equations and linear approximations of physical systems.
• State space and transfer function models of systems
• Time response of systems
• Frequency response of systems
• Routh Horowitz criterion and stability analysis
• Root Locus
• Bode Plots
• Nyquist Plots

By the conclusion of the course students are expected to be able to design

• PD & PID controllers
• Phase-Lead controllers
• Phase-Lag controllers
• Lead-Lag controllers

4.Prerequisites

8.Course Evaluation

** NOTE: In order to pass the course, you must pass the final exam.

8.1.Deferred Midterm Tests and Final Exams:

Please note the following:

• Medical certificates MUST be sent DIRECTLY from the Doctor’s Office or Hospital within 5 days by mail or preferably by fax to the Academic Advisor of FEAS (fax number 905-721-3370 attn: Academic Advisor).
• A fee for the deferral must be paid by the student if the Medical certificate is valid and arrives on time.
• Failure to comply with the above will result in an F for the mid-term and/or the final exam.

• Any portion of term grades from quizzes or midterms (or any other term work) which were not completed and that are considered eligible for consideration will be directly applied towards the final exam. (i.e. Your final exam will be worth more.)
• Any deferred final exam will be either written or oral at the discretion of the instructor.

8.2 Other Information

• Cheating, plagiarism, or any other form of academic misconduct as outlined in Section 5.15 of the Academic Calendar will be punished to the fullest extent.

• If any changes must be made to the dates in this course outline, notification of changes will be made in lecture as well as posted on WebCT.

9.In-Lecture Attendance, Pop-Quizzes and Survey Questions

• 5% of your grade is allotted to in-lecture pop-quizes and/or survey questions.
• These questions will not be announced in advance, rather during random times in lectures the instructor will announce that there is a pop-quiz or survey question to answer on your computer.
• Questions will be out of 2 marks.
• Questions that are not answered will receive a grade of zero.
• Survey questions will receive an automatic grade of 2 simply for being answered.
• Pop-quiz questions will receive a grade of 2 if they are answered correctly and 1 if they are incorrect.
• This grade is fundamentally used as a tool to evaluate participation in the lectures.

10.Tutorials

During tutorials the TAs will solve suggested problems from the text. The TAs will also answer limited questions pertaining to the assignments prior to their due dates, and they will review these assignments following their final submission dates. On specified weeks there will be a 15 minute quiz that will take place at the beginning of the tutorial time.

The tutorials will cover topics from the prior week’s lectures and homework.

Tutorial Quizzes

Quiz #1:week of Jan. 25th, 2010

Quiz #2:week of Feb. 8th, 2010

Quiz #3:week of March 8th, 2010

Quiz #4:week of March 22nd, 2010

(Tutorial quiz dates are subject to change. Any changes will be announced on WebCT and in class.)

• Tutorial quizzes will be held during tutorial times. In order to ensure that your quiz is available to you and is graded you must ensure to write the quiz during your appropriate tutorial dates and times.
• If you do not write your quiz in the allotted time then it will be assigned a grade of zero.
• 10% of your grade is allotted to quizzes. This mark will be determined by equally weighting all 4 quizzes.

11.Laboratories

Laboratories will take place every second week on an alternate week cycle. Labs will commence on the third week of classes – on January 25th, 2010. The laboratory will be available to all students, for an introduction to the equipment, regardless of lab section, in the second week of classes, the week of January 18th. During this introduction week, students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the lab equipment and software.

There are five labs that must be completed. These are:

1. Motor: Static relationship and parameter estimationw1- Jan. 25thw2- Feb. 1st
2. Dynamics Modelingw1- Feb. 8th w2- Feb. 22nd
3. Qualitative properties of PI controlw1- Mar. 1stw2- Mar. 8th
4. Speed Controlw1- Mar. 15thw2- Mar. 22nd
5. Position Control: PD position vs. PI speed controlw1- Mar. 29thw2- Apr. 5th

Please note the following information about the labs:

• During the first laboratory there will be a sign up sheet for lab groups.
• You must maintain the same lab group throughout the course.
• Each student is individually responsible his/her own lab preparation.
• Lab preps will be marked in the beginning of each lab session.
• During labs students will work in groups of two.
• Participation marks will be awarded during the labs.
• Students are individually responsible for their own lab reports.
• All lab reports are due one week after the lab has been completed.
• 10% of your grade is allotted to lab work and lab reports.
• Any consideration for missed labs during the term is at the sole discretion of the course instructor, as per faculty rules and guidelines.

16.Academic Integrity and Conduct

UOIT is committed to the fundamental values of preserving academic integrity as defined in UOIT policies and contained in the UOIT Calendar. Students should familiarize themselves with UOIT’s policies and statements in this area. Acts of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism, cheating, aiding others in cheating, and examination impersonation, will be dealt with severely as they threaten the integrity of the academic system and are not acceptable.

UOIT and faculty members reserve the right to use electronic means to detect and help prevent plagiarism. Students agree that by taking this course all assignments are subject to submission for textual similarity review to Turnitin.com. Assignments submitted to Turnitin.com will be included as source documents in Turnitin.com's restricted access database solely for the purpose of detecting plagiarism in such documents for five academic years. The faculty member may require students to submit their assignments electronically to Turnitin.com or the faculty member may submit questionable text on behalf of a student.
