This course aims to equip students the fundamental knowledge of automatic control systems (limited on Linear Time-Invariant Systems (LTI)), as follows:

• Basic components of an ACS.
• Mathematical models of ACS including transfer functions, block diagram, signal graph and state-space equations.
• Typical methods to investigate stability and quality of the ACS in the time domain and frequency domain.
• Basic methods to design linear controllers for the ACS to achieve quality targets.
