Course Description:	Control systems is the study of the analysis and regulations of the output behaviors of dynamical systems subject to input signals. The concepts and tools discussed in this course can be used in a wide spectrum of engineering disciplines such as mechanical,electrical, aerospace, manufacturing and biomedical engineering. The emphasis of this course will be on the basic theories and feedback controller design methods of linear time-invariant systems
Course Objectives:	The study of control systems engineering is essential for students pursuing degrees in electrical, mechanical, aerospace, biomedical, or chemical engineering. Control systems are found in a broad range of applications within these disciplines, from aircraft and spacecraft to robots and process control systems.
