The third edition of Control Systems: Principles and Design provides a unified treatment of continuous-time and discrete-time systems for two courses at the undergraduate level. The text continues to emphasize frequency-domain design methods augmented with state variable methods for control systems analysis.

• Thorough introduction to Control Engineering, pitched at an appropriate level for today’s students



• Complete material for a course with a focus on PID control and frequency-domain design, and an elective course on advanced control: digital control, state-space analysis and design, nonlinear systems analysis



• Detailed coverage of industrial control devices required for industrial practice



• MATLAB and Simulink support-enables full usage of these tools



• Development of problem-solving skills with review questions, multiple choice questions, and comprehensive problems.
