This course focuses on the analysis of dynamic systems, leading to mathematical models and computer simulations of these systems. Differential equation models will be developed for a range of dynamic systems, including mechanical, thermal, fluid and electrical systems. Laplace-transform techniques will be used to represent the time domain and frequency domain solutions of these systems of equations, which lead to the representation of complex systems through block diagrams. State space representations will also be introduced. Through projects and lab work, students will design dynamic systems and simulate their behaviour using the theory covered in class and software tools such as Matlab and Simulink. PREREQ: ENGR 1057, MATH 2066 (ENGR 2016). (lec 3, lab 1.5) cr 3.
