UCSB ME 106A and ECE 147C, Spring 2013 ME106A “Advanced Mechanical Engineering Lab” & ECE 147C “Control Systems Project” Instructor: Francesco Bullo
This is the syllabus for the UCSB course ME 106A “Adv Mech Engr Lab” and
ECE 147C “Control Systems Proj”, Spring 2013 (lecture times during period:
02apr2013 through 06jun2013).

1. Laboratory Sessions and MidTerm Project Report
2. Homework Assignments
There will be a few homework assignments to be solved to prepare for the
laboratory sessions and to complement the lectures. Please respect the
deadlines for the homework assignments. The TA may accept late assignments
for a couple of days after the deadline, but these will only get 50% of the
full grade. Moreover, once solutions are posted you will get no credit for
the assignment.
The assignments will be based on the lecture notes developed by Professor
Joao Hespanha. The PDF file is available
here.
3. Final Projects Report and Final Project Presentation
The second half of the laboratory time is devoted to the final project. Possible projects include
Identification and control of the seesaw system (in hardware)
Identification and control of an inverted pendulum (in hardware)
Identification and control of the Rijke Tube (in hardware)
Identification and control of a flexible beam (in simulation)
Identification and control of an F-16 (in simulation, model available here)
other … (either in hardware or simulation)
The final project must make extensive use of two out of the four topics
taught in the lectures, which are Model Identification, Robust Control,
LQG/LQR, Nonlinear Control.
You will be responsible to produce a Final Project Proposal, a Final Project Report and
deliver a Final Project Presentation.
Examples of final project reports. These are examples and are not to be followed verbatim.
