Description
Control Systems Engineering: Concepts and Applications offers a solid foundation in the theory and practical implementation of control systems in engineering. You’ll start by learning about open-loop and closed-loop systems, feedback control, and system dynamics. The course then explores modeling techniques using differential equations, transfer functions, and block diagrams for both linear time-invariant (LTI) and non-linear systems. You’ll gain hands-on experience using tools like MATLAB and Simulink to simulate system behavior and design controllers. Topics include PID control, root locus, Bode plots, frequency response, stability analysis, and state-space representation. Real-world applications are examined across industries, including temperature control in HVAC systems, cruise control in vehicles, robotic arm positioning, and process control in chemical plants. Emphasis is placed on controller design and tuning, robustness, noise mitigation, and actuator constraints. By the end of this course, students will be able to model and analyze dynamic systems, design controllers, and optimize performance for industrial and mechatronic applications. Ideal for mechanical, electrical, or instrumentation engineers looking to strengthen core automation skills.

Great structure, great pacing, and excellent visuals. From block diagrams to transfer functions, everything is presented step-by-step. The quizzes really helped reinforce what I learned.
Ikenna –
This course broke down complex control system theories into clear, understandable lessons. The simulations and practical examples helped me grasp PID controllers and system stability better than any textbook!
Zakari –
What stood out most was how the course tied control theory to real engineering systems—like flight control and motor systems. It’s not just academic—it’s deeply practical and career-relevant.

I’ve been building DIY robots for years, but this course gave me the foundation I needed to implement actual feedback control. The Laplace transform section alone was worth the price!
