Description

Highly regarded for its accessible writing and practical case studies, Control Systems Engineering is the most widely adopted textbook for this core course in Mechanical and Electrical engineering programs. This new sixth edition has been revised and updated with 20% new problems and greater emphasis on computer-aided design. Close the loop between your lectures and the lab!Integrated throughout the Nise text are 10 virtual experiments, which enable students to implement the design-simulate-prototype workflow of practicing engineers. Powered by LabVIEW software and simulations of Quanser’s lab plants, the virtual labs enable students to apply concepts to virtual systems, implement control solutions and evaluate their results. The virtual labs deepen the homework learning experience and prepare students to make more effective use of their time in the lab. Empower your students to take control of their learning with virtual labs accessible anywhere internet is available!Visitfor additional information related to Quanser. Read more

  • Good aside from the Root Locus Stuff
I'm an electrical engineer and we went through this book (except for the last chapter) in my class on linear control systems. It's a very good book that is very readable and enjoyable. It explains things well and makes things easy to understand. Even friends who typically do not like reading the book read this book. My one major complaint with this book is found in chapters 8 & 9. When doing the examples on the root locus, the author just says "using MATLAB" and then makes the plot. This drove me and my friends crazy because on the exam we are doing it by hand, not "using MATLAB" and even if we were, you still should do these sorts of things by hand first to make sure that you have an understanding of the concepts before progressing to using software for your modeling. And especially in the examples- I mean come on, really? It's pure laziness. The rest of the book is great though and conceptually, the author does explain the root locus very well. It is just in the examples where a RL needs to be drawn that this book really falls short, IMO. This book remains one of my favorites (as someone who reads every book for every class), I'm sure I will read it (or at least parts of it) over again, and I would highly recommend it. ... show more

  • Good book for hard class
Textbooks are hard to review, because we are required to purchase them and it is easy to tie in the quality of the course with the text. For me, this was a hard class, but I enjoyed it. The text was not always helpful to read and often made simple things sound complicated. That being said, this is a difficult subject to learn and teach. Everyone has their own way of visualizing what is happening. I find that it is better to play around with a microcontroller system until you figure out what's happening. It does integrate well with Simulink for Matlab which is nice. ... show more

  • Reviewing my experience.
I had to purchase this textbook for my Systems Analysis course. The price was well over $200 at my school's book store and only about 3/4 that price on Amazon so if you are required to buy this, do it here. In response to the content of the book, a pretty good book overall, especially considering how horrible a lot of my other textbooks are. Best part is it's relatively easy to understand and comprehend. Worst part is a lot of the examples don't have their work shown in the book. It'll have a question and the answer in a small text box, then refer you to their online website for the full work through of the problem. Another thing I don't like is it seemed to get tough fast, but in all honesty it's due to my professor being slow in teaching. ... show more

  • Very Clear Book
I ordered this as a supplement to my upper division mechanical feedback controls class and was very pleased. This book is very readable and after getting it was able to work through the first hundred or so pages with ease. Readability is the number one factor I look for in a text and I was pleased with this one. There were a few minor errors in some of the examples, which I was surprised to see given the that this book is in its 6th edition. Over all, great book, the best of three that I have used. Highly recommended ... show more

  • Serious Electrical Engineering Students
The text is high in both quality and content, and requires an solid understanding of control systems engineering theory. Also, advance mathematics are required, such as, calculus, Laplace transforms, and differential equations. This is a difficult and challenging course, which is generally taught at the masters degree level. ... show more

  • The material is easy to understand
The material is easy to understand. Great examples although the problems at the end of the chapter could be a bit less complicated and more on focus with the material that needs to be learned. Overall, it is a very practical book
