His technical interests are in data acquisition and control systems. He is active in IEEE and is presently Secretary of Region 2. This course examines the behavior of complex linear, continuous systems with feedback. Classical methods are covered illustrating the design of controllers which meet engineering specifications. Both classical and modern techniques of analysis and design are used to design controllers.
Fuzzy logic is studied to illustrate one area of current interest in control theory.
EE460 Data Acquisition - Acquiring data and transferring it to a computer is a basic process used by all engineers. This course builds on a your background in electronics, digital systems, control, and network analysis. The objective is to understand and be able to specify or design data acquisition systems, particularly those that are found in control systems. Equipment in the lab includes GE and TI programmable logic controllers, HP data acquisition systems, personal computers, Motomatic Control Systems Laboratory, and an array of electronic instrumentation. A pick and place robot and a scara robot are used on a simulated production line.
