Control Systems Engineering

Rate this book
An up-to-date text designed for undergraduate courses in control systems engineering and principles of automatic controls. Focuses on design and implementation rather than just the mathematics of control systems. Using a balanced approach, the text presents a unified, energy-based approach to modeling; covers analysis techniques for the models presented; and offers a detailed study of digital control and the implementation of digital controllers. Includes examples and homework problems.

I loved controls in school but did not care for this book when I first read it. In retrospect though, I do think it is a decent book and reference it occasionally in previous jobs.

It did have good coverage of mechanical type controls which I think is becoming a lost art. Today many engineers resort to microcontrollers to implement their control logic.
