BAE 3023                 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS         SPRING 2006

CATALOG DATA:  BAE 3023 Instruments and Controls. Credit 3. Prerequisites:  MATH 2233, and ENGSC 2613

 

TEXTBOOK:  Principles and Practice of Automatic Process Control,  Smith, C. A. , and A. B. Corripio.  Wiley Publishing Co.

 

INSTRUCTOR:  Dr. Marvin Stone, Professor, Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering, 213 Ag Hall,

COURSE OBJECTIVES:  The primary objective of the course is to provide students with a fundamental understanding of the design of control and instrumentation systems including sensor and actuator principles, interface electronics, system identification, modeling, and performance specification.  Students will receive an introduction to classical control theory.  Topics covered will include identification and modeling of dynamic systems, linearization, application of Laplace transforms, stability analysis in time, frequency, and Laplace domains, and specification of instrument and control systems.  In addition, a practical design project will be completed and will involve design, construction, and testing of an SISO control system.  A final portion of the course will introduce the student to digital control techniques.

EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS:  All students will be given homework assignments in which cooperative work with other students will be encouraged.  Closed book/notes examinations over homework and lectures will be given as scheduled.  Assignments are due at the beginning of the period, one week after the assignment was made.  No more than half credit will be given for assignments that are late.  No credit will be given for assignments that are over one class period late.  Students with appropriate excuses and prior arrangements with the instructor may reschedule examinations.

GRADING:    Homework       40%   8 assignments    @ 5% each
Project             16%   1 project                        @ 16%
Examinations   44%   4 exams             @ 11% each
The final grade will be based on the total percentage of the above determined from the following table.

            %-Range                      Grade
            100-90                            A
            89-80                              B
            79-70                              C
            69-60                              D
            59-0                                F

DROP POLICY:  See "University Academic Regulations" Section 5.4 of the OSU catalog.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY:  I will assume that you are ethical and honorable and are dedicated to obtaining an education in the conventional manner - through study and hard work.  Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and disciplinary action may include failure of this course.
