This undergraduate course on design and implementation of control systems uses xPC Target with Speedgoat hardware to teach Model-Based Design and concepts such as hardware-in-the-loop simulation.

Learning Outcomes

• Build mathematical models for components in a system.
• Follow a process of continuous refinement and improvement to generate accurate models.
• Connect component models together to model a larger more complex system.
• Set up and run Model-in-the-Loop Simulations (MIL).
• Set up and run real-time simulations for a physical system.
• Set up and run Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulations (HIL).
• Apply basic control algorithms to a real physical system.
• Deploy a control algorithm on a real-time target.
• Apply verification and validation methods to a model of a physical system.
• Use Design of Experiment methods to create models of physical systems.
