AIM
To familiarize the students with concepts related to the operation analysis and stabilization of control systems

OBJECTIVES
• To understand the open loop and closed loop (feedback ) systems
• To understand time domain and frequency domain analysis of control systems required for stability analysis.
• To understand the compensation technique that can be used to stabilize control systems
