Unit 136 Control systems<br />
<strong>Level</strong>: 6<br />
Introduction<br />
This unit is about the methodology used for the design and evaluation of control systems.<br />
Unit aim<br />
The aim of this unit is to provide the knowledge and skills required to design and evaluate control<br />
systems relat<strong>in</strong>g to mechanical, manufactur<strong>in</strong>g, chemical and electrical eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g applications.<br />
Learn<strong>in</strong>g outcomes<br />
There are three learn<strong>in</strong>g outcomes to this unit. The learner will:<br />
1. Apply mathematical modell<strong>in</strong>g to dynamic systems and analyse their responses<br />
2. Analyse and solve problems associated with feedback control systems<br />
3. Choose <strong>in</strong>strumentation for measurement of variables commonly used <strong>in</strong> control systems<br />
Guided learn<strong>in</strong>g hours<br />
It is recommended that 150 hours should be allocated for this unit of which 90 would be direct<br />
taught hours and the rema<strong>in</strong>der for laboratory practical work and <strong>in</strong>dependent study. The unit may<br />
be carried out on a full time or part time basis.<br />
Assessment<br />
This unit will be assessed by means of one three hour exam<strong>in</strong>ation paper plus satisfactory<br />
completion of prescribed assignments and laboratory work. The assessments will be carried out<br />
separately.<br />
The learner is expected to have knowledge of mathematics needed to solve basic eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g<br />
problems and be familiar with complex variable theory, solution of 1st and 2nd order differential<br />
equations us<strong>in</strong>g time doma<strong>in</strong> and Laplace techniques and also have knowledge of the basics of<br />
applied mechanics as per the <strong>City</strong> & <strong>Guilds</strong> Advanced Technician <strong>Diploma</strong> 2565-03-038 and 039 and<br />
047 or relevant HND or other equivalent (ie 8030-2000).<br />
