ENEE13019 - Control Systems Analysis and Design

General Information

Unit Synopsis

You will be able to work in teams to model, analyse and investigate design options for analogue and digital control systems. On satisfactory completion, you will be able to articulate typical control systems building blocks and select appropriate components and interfaces for specific applications. In addition, you will be able to develop mathematical models to analyse the behaviour of selected dynamic systems and to design controllers for these systems. Mixed mode students will be required to attend a residential school to promote the development of unit learning outcomes.

Attendance Requirements

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Assessment Overview

Recommended Student Time Commitment

Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task Weighting
1. Written Assessment 20%
2. Laboratory/Practical 10%
3. Laboratory/Practical 10%
4. Written Assessment 20%
5. Examination 40%

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).

Unit learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

  1. Explain the principles of automatic control systems (analogue and/or digital) and typical associated control system building blocks
  2. Articulate the principles and applications of sensors and amplifiers; final control elements in an automatic control system (analogue and/or digital)
  3. Evaluate the role of the analogue and/or digital controller in a control system
  4. Model and analyse the behaviour of dynamic systems and the controller in combination using appropriate mathematical, graphical and computer-aided tools
  5. Investigate and report the process of analogue and/or digital controller design for a dynamic system; solved collaboratively or autonomously
  6. Communicate and document analogue and/or digital control system solutions, calculations and approaches, using correct terminology, symbols and diagrams.

The learning outcomes for this unit are linked with Engineers Australia's Stage 1 Competency Standard for Professional Engineers.
