About the course


The application of Model-Based Design of control systems can be found in almost all sectors of engineering. Examples such as, launching a rocket & landing it back, self-driving cars, flight control, pressure control of a hydraulic system, speed & torque control of motors, robotics & a million other applications. This course in Control system engineering will lay the perfect foundation to learn system engineering, system behavior, system control, calculations & the physics behind controls. The course is fully practical, you will learn control engineering by building a FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM FOR DRONES in Scilab Xcos software. The project will be an amazing learning opportunity to apply all the theoretical skills to a practical & real-world project case. By the end of this course, you will have total confidence to attend any interviews related to control engineering.


Course Outcome:

  1. Confidence to apply Laplace Transform to convert complex time-domain equations to the state space domain. 

  2. Re-arranging system concerning the inputs and outputs to create a Transfer Function. 

  3. Perform a response test to gauge the performance of a system by analyzing the plant's response curve. 

  4. Understand the blocks of a PID Controller and the impact of each on the system performance. 

  5. Model and Tune popular electrical and physical systems to tune the controller for a perfect response. 

  6. Perform a project on designing a model for the flight of a drone and assess the pitch, yaw, and stability response of the body to an input.

“A well structured program within the set time frame, helped me gain enough understanding to know about and use Scilab Xcos software, and work on projects which were amply challenging to help me understand about the model, go back and correct my mistakes and understand the analysis of the output. What I learnt through this internship serves as the perfect foundation and the skills I've gained will help me work on future projects with confidence. Apart from the technical part itself, you take us through the industry persepctive and what could we be doing to improve ourselves (work on more projects etc), delve more into what we've learnt, what to showcase in CVs which wholly rounded out my experience ”

“The course was wonderfully organized, with keen attention to detail. The topics covered were of sufficient depth for the duration of the course, and the 8th session covering hand calculation was excellent exposure for the attendees. One con however is that the videos seem to be very lengthy, and since this was posted as a self paced course, giving shorter videos of 1/2 hour durations would have been much better for attendee satisfaction.”

“At the end of 4 weeks, I had gained an ample amount of knowledge in designing the dynamic control system for a Drone which includes Pitch and Stability controls. Apart from these flight controls, the course covered in-depth knowledge on Transfer Functions, solving real-time problems on Race Car Resistive Forces, Plotting 3D graphs, data visualization, etc. The mentors are well experienced in the field of Electronics and control systems and the way they handled the course deserves appreciation.”
