Prerequisite AMA 2203 ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS III

Purpose
This course is meant to enable the student to compare and contrast open and closed systems and
represent practical systems with transfer functions

Aims and Objectives


By the end of this Unit the student should able to:
1. Compare and contrast open and closed loop system
2. Simplify control system block diagram and convert block diagrams to flow diagrams
3. Simplify system loops and explain the need for systems modeling
4. Derive transfer functions for simple networks and determine their transfer functions and
represent practical systems with transfer functions.
