SYSC 3600A&B Department of Systems and Computer Engineering Systems and Simulation Course Outline Fall 2013

Professors: Section A: TBD Section B: Professor Aitken, office 4488ME, e-mail vaitken@sce.carleton.ca

WWW: Course material will be posted on CULearn. Course Objectives: This course provides an introduction to the techniques of system modeling, analysis and simulation. One will learn how to predict the behaviour of dynamic systems to various inputs. Knowledge gained from previous courses on mechanical and electrical systems and differential equations is integrated to provide an understanding of the dynamic behaviour of engineering systems. The topics to be covered include: modeling of dynamic systems, the properties of dynamic systems, the use of Laplace transforms, transfer functions and block diagrams, convolution, and time and frequency response. Course Textbook:
K. Ogata, System Dynamics 4th Ed, Prentice Hall, 2004, ISBN 0-13-142462-9

It is strongly recommended that all students have access to the textbook. The text is very well written and complete. The best thing about this text is that Ogata includes a very large number of problems with complete step-by-step solutions. Sections from the text will be identified for each lecture. The text is available from many sources (and there should be lots of used ones around). Other References: Kamen & Heck, Fundamentals of Signals and Systems using the Web and MATLAB, Prentice Hall, 2000. Oppenheim and Willsky, Signals and Systems, 2nd ed., Prentice Hall, 1997. Kudeki and Munson, Analog Signals and Systems, Prentice Hall, 2009. Lecture Notes and Laboratory Materials: The lecture notes and lab materials are available for download from CULearn.

Prerequisites: MATH 1005, and (ECOR 1101 or PHYS 1001). Precludes additional credit for SYSC 2500 or SYSC 3500. Students who have not satisfied the prerequisites for this course must either a) withdraw from the course or b) obtain a prerequisite waiver from www.sce.carleton.ca/ughelp. Students who are registered but do not satisfy the prerequisites and who have not been granted a prerequisite waiver may be deregistered from the course after the last day to register for courses in the term.

Examinations: A mid-term examination will be held in the respective lecture timeslots on Wednesday October 16. Midterm attendance is required. Students who miss the midterm exam due to illness are required to provide a doctors note to their instructor within 48 hours of returning to campus, and in this case the midterm exam weight will be shifted to the final exam. Other excuses for missing the midterm exam will not be accepted and a grade of zero will be assigned. The final examination will be held during the Universitys examination period, Dec. 11 through 22nd, and will be scheduled by examination services. Students must pass the final examination (D- or better on the final exam) AND must have a final overall grade of at least D- in order to pass the course. The final examination is for evaluation purposes only and will not be returned to students. Both exams (midterm and final) will be closed-book but students will be allowed to prepare and bring with them one 8.5x11 crib sheet, both sides, to each exam (i.e. both the midterm and final exams).

Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities

You may need special arrangements to meet your academic obligations during the term. For an accommodation request the processes are as follows: Pregnancy obligation: write to your instructor with any requests for academic accommodation during the first two weeks of class, or as soon as possible after the need for accommodation is known to exist. For more details visit the Equity Services website: http://www2.carleton.ca/equity/ Religious obligation: write to your instructor with any requests for academic accommodation during the first two weeks of class, or as soon as possible after the need for accommodation is known to exist. For more details visit the Equity Services website: http://www2.carleton.ca/equity/ Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities: The Paul Menton Centre for Students with Disabilities (PMC) provides services to students with Learning Disabilities (LD), psychiatric/mental health disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), chronic medical conditions, and impairments in mobility, hearing, and vision. If you have a disability requiring academic accommodations in this course, please contact PMC at 613-520-6608 or pmc@carleton.ca for a formal evaluation. If you are already registered with the PMC, contact your PMC coordinator to send your instructor your Letter of Accommodation at the beginning of the term, and no later than two weeks before the first in-class scheduled test or exam requiring accommodation (if applicable). After requesting accommodation from PMC, meet with your instructor to ensure accommodation arrangements are made. Please consult the PMC website for the deadline to request accommodations for the formally-scheduled exam (if applicable) at http://www2.carleton.ca/pmc/newand-current-students/dates-and-deadlines/ You can visit the Equity Services website to view the policies and to obtain more detailed information on academic accommodation at http://www2.carleton.ca/equity/

Plagiarism: Plagiarism (copying and handing in for credit someone else's work) is a serious instructional offense that will not be tolerated. Please refer to the section on instructional offenses in the Undergraduate Calendar for additional information. Grading: Assignments: Midterm:

15%; 20%

Labs: Final Exam:

10%; 55%

Students must pass the final examination (D- or better on the final exam) in order to pass the course.

Health and Safety: Every student should have a copy of our Health and Safety Manual. An electronic version of the manual can be found at http://www.sce.carleton.ca/courses/health-and-safety.pdf

Labs/Tutorials:

All labs/tutorials are held in 4233ME. All computers in this room have full access to Matlab and Simulink for assignments/labs. Lab/tutorial times are as follows:
Section L1 L2 L3 L4 L5 L6 Day Monday Friday Thursday Thursday Wednesday Tuesday Time 8:30-11:30 2:30-5:30 2:30-5:30 8:30-11:30 8:30-11:30 2:30-5:30

These timeslots will be used for both tutorials and laboratories. Students may use this lab room at any time when other activities are not formally scheduled. There will be 4 labs and 6 assignments. Lab work will require completion of the pre-lab prior to your lab slot, then will be completed during the lab slot. Both Labs and assignments may be conducted in teams of two students. Tutorials are intended to provide TA support for completion of assignments. Students may come to any tutorial slot to receive help from the TAs provided space exists. The weekly labs/tutorial cycle will start on a Thursday and end on a Wednesday. Assignments and lab reports are due on Fridays BUT the assignment box will be emptied first thing Monday morning following each due date. You therefore have two extra days (Sat. and Sun.) following each due date as a grace period, so requests for extensions beyond the Monday pick-up will not be considered. Late submissions (not in the box when emptied first thing on Monday mornings) will not be accepted at all and will be given a grade of zero. No excuses! You are encouraged to photocopy your assignments or lab reports prior to submission for your own records. Every effort will be devoted to ensuring that all assignments/labs are returned to students in a timely manner. There are NO LAB EXEMPTIONS in this course. None!
