EE 154/CMPE 241/EE 241 - Introduction to Feedback Control Systems - Winter 2006
Time and Place: MWF 2:00-3:10PM, E2 194
Description
This course has concurrent lectures for undergrads and grads. Therefore, some of the material
will be common, while the objectives and requirements will be different. Information that
is common to both groups (such as the Lecture Material) will be stated as is, while
information specific to each group will be identified by course number: 154 for
undergrads, and 241 for grads.
Course Description and Lectures
Topics to be covered include:
modeling, ordinary differential equations, linearization
Laplace transform and transfer functions
time response specifications of performance
PID controllers
Ziegler-Nichols tuning procedure
stability via Routh-Hurwitz
frequency response analysis using Bode and Nyquist diagrams
and root locus
design of dynamic compensators
Lecture Material:
Week 1: Chapters 1 and 2.
Week 2: Sections 3.1 - 3.4.
Week 3: Sections 3.5, 3.6, 4.1, 4.2.
Week 4: Sections 4.3, 5.1, 5.2.
Week 5: Sections 5.5, 5.6, Midterm.
Week 6: Sections 6.1, 6.2.

154 Coursework and Evaluation
- Homeworks: [50% of class grade]
Weekly homeworks will be due each Wednesday at
the beginning of class. The homeworks will consist of written
assignments taken from the exercises at the end of each section.
- Midterm: [20% of class grade]
Take home exam. Pick up Feb. 10, turn in Feb. 13.
- Final Exam: [30% of class grade]
Take home exam. Pick up March 16, turn in March 20.

241 Coursework and Evaluation
- Undergrad Mentorship: [10% of class grade] Meet with an assigned
undergrad (or two in certain weeks) on the Monday or Tuesday before each
HW assignment is due. The job of the grad is to be able to answer any question
the undergrad(s) have on the current homework, which means the grad should have
completed that undergrad HW prior to their meeting. NOTE: The grad must NOT
DO the HW FOR the undergrad, but be able to answer questions, for example, as a TA would.
This portion of the grade will be based on Performance Evaluation by the undergrad(s).
Specifically, the undergrads will fill out a template evaluation form rating the effectiveness of the grad
in assisting them with their HW assignment.
- Homeworks: [50% of class grade]
In addition to turning in solutions to the undergrad problems,
grads will have additional HW problems that will be based on the material. Both
sets of solutions must be turned in at the beginning of class every Wednesday.
- Lecture: [10% of class grade]
Each grad will give one 30-minute white board lecture during the quarter, covering
a specific topic approved by the instructor. These student lectures will be
graded by the instructor, and will likely be held during the second half of a
Friday lecture.
- Final Projet: [20% of class grade]
More details to come later.
241 Homework Assignments
At the beginning of class every Wednesday, two sets of HW solutions should be turned in.
One set is the solutions to the undergrad problems, and the solutions should be well
presented and easy to read, so that they will be useful as solutions to be given
to the undergrads once they are graded for correctness.
The second set of solutions will be for the problem sets listed below.

Academic Honesty
In recent years, there has been an increased number of cheating
incidents in many UC campuses, and unfortunately, UCSC is no
exception. The Baskin School of Engineering has a zero tolerance
policy for any incident of academic dishonesty. If cheating occurs,
consequences within the context of the course may range from getting
zero on a particular assignment, to failing the course. In addition,
every case of academic dishonesty is referred to the students college
Provost, who sets in motion an official disciplinary process. Cheating
in any part of the course may lead to failing the course and
suspension or dismissal from the university.
What is cheating? In short, it is presenting someone else s work as
your own. Examples would include copying another student's written
homework assignment or exam, or allowing your own work to be
copied. Although you may discuss homework problems with fellow
students, your collaboration must be at the level of ideas
only. Legitimate collaboration ends when you "lend", "borrow", or
"trade" written solutions to problems, or in any way share in the act
of writing your answers. If you do collaborate (legitimately) or
receive help from anyone, you must credit them by placing their
name(s) at the top of your paper.
