Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) identify, formulate, and solve the control system problems using state space techniques
2) comprehend the mathematical modeling of control systems using state space representations
3) design control systems in state space
4) design state observers for control systems
5) apply and demonstrate knowledge on control systems using modern engineering tools
