1. Understanding the Fundamental Principles of Control Systems Engineering

Control Systems Engineering operates by designing systems that control dynamic processes to ensure desired output despite fluctuations. Key components include inputs, controllers, processes, feedback, actuators, and outputs, which together shape the system's behavior. The distinction between open-loop and closed-loop systems demonstrates the importance of feedback, while transfer functions offer a mathematical approach to analyze system dynamics and stability. Ultimately, performance criteria guide the development of effective control strategies such as PID and state-space control.
