AE 230: Modeling and Simulation Lab
Introduction:
Modeling and Simulation Lab is a quintessential course, for it imparts a way of "seeing" (visualizing, modeling) various phenomenon from a systems level. Major emphasis is on engineering systems and how they are/can be represented as first and second order system. Also, how to quantify and represent various physical phenomena in equations. This course, in many ways, is a primer to the control theory course, for it lets you look into the black box (the plant) which is often assumed to be known in the control theory course.
