This course is about theories and methods to analyze dynamic systems，with the aim of designing appropriate controllers to obtain desired dynamic performances. Examples of systems discussed in the course include mechanical, electrical and magnetic systems, which compose of theory and practice, focusing on improving the abilities of problem analysis and solving.

This course will be carried out only in English.  To help the students from China as well as other countries to understand the lectures, plain English would be used in priority. All lectures are prerecorded as video clips and uploaded on the platform, so that students can easily access the files and prepare for the lectures in advance.  

All necessary previous knowledge would be reviewed at the very beginning of each class, students whose native languages are not English could be expected to overcome difficulties and follow the lectures through. Moreover, reasonable number of homework and quizzes will help students to master the key points in each lecture.

This course elaborates the content of each chapter in detail,  and the professor has rich research experiences and clear logics, which enable students to understand the theory.

You can find the video modules on this platform.  We would like to modify the teaching procedure whenever it is necessary. Your feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome.
