ECE 582Control Systems I! Continuous and discrete state space concepts, time domain solution of

Further study of process dynamics and examples of control systems design from electrical, mechanical and chemical engineering. Introduction to the computer control of industrial processes. 3 lectures, one term. Graduate and Research Programme Graduate credit is measured in units. A one-term course at the graduate level counts as one unit. Two units are given to graduate courses extending over two terms (certain mathematics and science courses). Credit units required for specific programmes are discussed in separate sections for the M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degree, below. Equivalent credit may be given to students transferring from other recognized universities for appropriate graduate courses previously taken, up to a maximum of two units. Certain senior undergraduate courses at this University may be taken for graduate credit at 4 unit (1 unit for the EE 500 series) of graduate credit per term-course, up to a maximum of two units. The normal academic load is four units per term for a full-time student. Five units may be taken with special permission only. Students involved in part-time employment at the University or otherwise, must take a reduced academic load, as detailed in the separate section on financial assistance below. A Faculty Advisor is appointed to supervise the programme of study of cach graduate student. A new student must meet with his advisor prior to graduate course registration to arrange his course-work programme and discuss his research interests. The progress of the student will be reviewed at least once each term by the advisor. Any changes in either course-work or research programme must be specifically approved prior to registration in the subsequent term. An Electrical Engineering Student studying antenna patterns Department of Electrical Engineering Master’s Degree Programmes The objective of the Master’s Degree programme (M.A.Sc.) in Electrical Engineering is to demonstrate individual accomplishment of a high professional and academic standard. The candidate, with approval of his advisor, may elect to submit either a research thesis as a portion of the requirements, or an engineering project report of a professionat calibre on a design or theoretical application problem. The complete programme submitted for the M.A.Sc. degree must consist of at least ten units of graduate credit. Suitable courses offered by other departments may be taken, as appropriate. A research thesis may be submitted for five units of graduate credit under EE 699. The topic of the thesis and the choice of the remaining required five units of graduatecourse work are arranged by the student and his Faculty Advisor. Each student’s programme is subject to approval by the Graduate Studies Committee of the Department. The student must remain registered without interruption in EE 699 until the thesis is submitted. The research work leading to the thesis must be performed under the direction of the Faculty Advisor, and is finally approved and accepted by him. An Engineering Project Report may be submitted for two units of graduate credit under EE 698. The topic of the report and the remaining eight units of graduatecourse work are arranged by the student and his Faculty Advisor for approval by the Graduate Studies Committee. The work leading to the report must be performed under the direction of the Advisor and be acceptable to him. Credit may not be obtained for both EE 698 and EE 699. The time limitations for a Master’s degree are four consecutive academic years for all course work and project or thesis requirements to be completed. The normal programme involves three terms of full-time study, which must be extended if three or fewer units per term are taken. Academic performance must be sufficient that the student receives an average grade of B (66-74%) or more in the course-work portion of his approved study programme. At any time, a student may be required to withdraw from the programme if he receives a grade of C, (60-66%) or less, in more than one course in Electrical Engineering, or in more than a total of two course units, including minor fields. English language requirement: A student whose mastery of spoken English is inadequate may be required to take a non-credit course in English and to pay an additional fee of approximately $25. The Ph.D. Degree Programme The primary objective of the Ph.D. programme is the accomplishment of independent and original research work and reporting thereon in a research thesis. The subsidiary requirements are completion of a suitable course-work programme, passing a comprehensive examination, demonstration of reading knowledge of a foreign language, and receiving a satisfactory review by a supervising committee. All of these must be construed as contributing to the competent performance of the research objective. Admission to the Ph.D. programme is based upon the student’s academic record and evidence of ability to pursue independent research. Students must satisfy the requirements of the comprehensive examination as set out in paragraph five. No candidate will be admitted to the Ph.D. programme before a Faculty Advisor willing to supervise the candidate’s research is appointed. Minimum registration requirements for the Ph.D. degree are of two academic years from the Master’s degree level, or equivalent. The maximum time allowed is five consecutive academic years from the same level. Part-time programmes are not encouraged, and students may normally satisfy only the subsidiary requirements of the programme on a non-resident basis. A minimum of three terms of full-time resident study are required in those cases where all other requirements have previously been met on a part-time basis. The course-work associated with the Ph.D. programme is intended to provide a foundation for advanced learning in the general field of study as well as for competent research performance in some specific area. While there is no fixed requirement as to the number of credit units to be taken, aside from a usual maximum of eight units, the Advisor and the supervisory committee for each candidate will consider the level and adequacy of each candidate’s preparation in drawing up his specific programme. The Comprehensive Examination; The form of this examination varies with the applicant’s background: 1. Candidates holding master’s degrees from this university will have an oral examination. 2. Candidates having master’s degrees awarded mainly by thesis and able to present themselves for examination, may elect to be examined orally on their thesis topic. 3. Candidates may submit their results in the ‘Advanced test in engineering’ of the ‘Graduate record examination’. * 4. Candidates may request permission to register for the M.A.Sc. If accepted they will then be required to follow three graduate courses in their first term and to obtain at least a 70% average. Successful candidates will then be registered retroactively for the Ph.D. The foreign language requirement is satisfied by demonstrating proficiency in read- ing and translating into English, technical literature in either German, Russian or French. *The G.R.E. is administered by: ‘Graduate Record Examinations’, Educational testing service, 1947 Centre St., Berkeley, California, U.S.A. The applicant must personally arrange and pay for the test ($8 U.S.). Test centres exist at major cities in most countries. Graduate Course Descriptions
