Control 2 Area of Concentration

Welcome into the New Year 2015!!!

From the desk of the Class Representative of the PGD EEE/ECE set of 2012/2013 we wish to welcome all members of this amiable class into this definitive year.

By God's Grace, 2015 will mark the completion of the program we started several months ago. And to this effect, we wish to remind ALL of the remaining Exams which we still have on our necks.

The first exam which is Control Engineering 2 as lectured by Engr. Tom Frank is proposed to hold next week and a result of these, we publish the Area of Concentration which he has asked us to ponder on.

1.   State Variable Characterization/Importance of state variables: Because most systems are not linear in nature and therefore cannot be evaluated using laplace transforms, hence the use of State Variables
