Grading:(click on highlighted items at bottom of page for problem sets)

Exam Policy: 1) One page (front and back) of *your own handwritten* notes. 2) No graphing calculators.

Topics: Analysis and design of feedback systems in the frequency domain.  Transfer functions. Time response specifications.  PID controllers and Ziegler-Nichols tuning.  Stability via Routh-Hurwitz test.  Root locus method.  Frequency response: Bode and Nyquist diagrams. Dynamic compensators, phase-lead and phase-lag.  Actuator saturation and integrator wind-up.

Academic Dishonesty Policy: I plan on following the University rules on academic dishonesty (if you are considering taking chances, click here and read the lengthy Section 22.23). As a page of notes and a simple calculator are allowed during exams, it is specifically forbidden to: 1) collaborate or look into someone else' s work or their notes, 2) share either your page of handwritten notes or your calculator. It is unfortunate that exams are conducted in crammed conditions, so please keep your attention focused on your own work. Even if I don't notice collaboration or peeking into your neighbor's work, keep in mind that if your work is similar to someone else's (and especially if it is so in an idiosyncratic or erroneous manner), this constitutes evidence of academic dishonesty. Regarding homework, submitting work that is not your own constitutes academic dishonesty. There are two penalties for academic dishonesty: (1) any form of it will result in a failing final grade in the course; (2) it is the instructor's responsibility to report all instances of academic dishonesty to the student's college.  I have been forced to pursue this procedure in the past and in the most serious case it has resulted in a student's suspension (even though it was the student's first offense). What is important to note is that not just me, but also your colleagues are watching you and have as much interest in a fair grading environment as I do.  In most cases that I have pursued, the offending activities were reported to me by students in the class.
