  • Calling +64 7 838 4466 select option 1, then enter the extension.
  • Extensions starting with 4, 5, 9 or 3 can also be direct dialled:
    • For extensions starting with 4: dial +64 7 838 extension.
    • For extensions starting with 5: dial +64 7 858 extension.
    • For extensions starting with 9: dial +64 7 837 extension.
    • For extensions starting with 3: dial +64 7 2620 + the last 3 digits of the extension e.g. 3123 = +64 7 262 0123.

Learning Outcomes

Edit Learning Outcomes Content

Students who successfully complete the course should be able to:

  • Model and analyze continuous and discrete time control system in frequency domain (deriving the transfer function of a dynamic system from a physics model, construct Bode plots for a system from its transfer function (WA1, WA2; WK2, WK3)
    This includes deriving the transfer function of a dynamic system from a physics model, designing a continuous-time PID controller, and also convert a continuous-time controller to a discrete-time controller, constructing Bode plots for a system from its transfer function, carrying out root locus analysis of a feedback control system

How you will be assessed

Edit How you will be assessed Content

There are 4 assignments and 2 tests, with the breakdown percentage as below. The lab report will be divided into multiple sub lab reports and the submission format and timeline will be detailed in Moodle during the semester.

Samples of your work may be required as part of the Engineering New Zealand accreditation process for BE(Hons) degrees. Any samples taken will have the student name and ID redacted. If you do not want samples of your work collected then please email the engineering administrator, Natalie Shaw (natalie.shaw@waikato.ac.nz), to opt out.

Edit How you will be assessed Content

The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 100:0. There is no final exam. The final exam makes up 0% of the overall mark.

The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 100:0 or 0:0, whichever is more favourable for the student. The final exam makes up either 0% or 0% of the overall mark.
