Signal processing as well as control systems are vital to ensure stable, safe and optimal operation of many modern devices and systems such as drones, robots and other automated platforms. This module will provide you the underpinning concepts, knowledge and methodologies in signal processing and control theory to apply to systems from your engineering disciplines. The control systems part will include both continuous and discrete time systems. The signal processing part is focused on signals, sampling , filters, etc. and will cover both analog and digital systems. Lecture materials, hands-on experiments, computer simulations and case studies are carefully designed to strengthen your learning experience.
After successfully completing this module, you will obtain fundamental and essential knowledge in signal processing and system control required for advanced engineering learning and future professional practice in related fields.
