Objectives
The main goal of this course is to endow students with the ability to:
1. analyze linear time invariant (LTI) systems in the time and frequencies domains;
2. operate with different representations of LTI systems;
3. analyze feedback systems, including feedback controllers;
4. synthesize basic feedback controllers based on performance and stability requirements;
5. analyze the behavior of nonlinear systems.
Learning outcomes and competences
At the end of the course the student should be able to integrate the acquired knowledge in the motivating context of applications in engineering, in the field of systems and control.

Teaching methods and learning activities
Lectures will be used to present the course material, and to discuss illustrative examples. Students will have weekly assignments that will be discussed during practical classes. MATLAB based tools will be extensively used during classes. Evaluation will be based on the homework assignments, a midterm test, and a final exam.
Evaluation Type
Distributed evaluation with final exam
