To provide the necessary background in nonlinear system analysis and nonlinear control system design for those strongly interested in control system design.
prerequisites:
A standard undergraduate-level background in control system design. The Course will be fully supported by a large number of laboratory experiments and practical works.
Hence, a student will learn the basics of Matlab and use it as a support for analysis and design of lab oriented experiments.
Course description (from the UOB Catalog):
This course is an introductory course on intelligent control. The main goal of the course is to learn a variety of fuzzy control methods, and to understand how they use a diversity
of heuristic knowledge to achieve control specifications. Basic components and their roles in general fuzzy systems are explained to understand how fuzzy controllers work. Based on the basic idea of fuzzy control, advanced topics in intelligent control, including fuzzy identification, adaptive/supervisory fuzzy control, neural networks, genetic algorithms, expert systems and fuzzy decision making systems, are also covered. Comparisons between fuzzy and conventional control techniques are done, and advantages and disadvantages of each technique will be clarified. Through various examples, students will learn how to apply intelligent control techniques to real engineering problems with Matlab.

Object Oriented Programming using Matlab (OOP):
Object Oriented Programming using Matlab (OOP), uses of classes (class), objects (obj) and data structure (struct) .. if you would like to use this approach in programming for this course, this will be great. This is optional, but it is always good to learn latest and advanced programming tools.
