Nise’s Control Systems Engineering takes a practical approach, presenting clear and complete explanations. Real world examples demonstrate the analysis and design process, while helpful skill assessment exercises, numerous in-chapter examples, review questions and problems reinforce key concepts. A new progressive problem, a solar energy parabolic trough collector, is featured at the end of each chapter. Hardware Interface Laboratory experiments have been added to certain chapters. These experiments use National Instrument’s myDAQ ® to interface your computer to actual hardware to test control system principles in the real-world.
