  - (Due 11-3-2021, 11-22-2021(Make-up)) Assignment 1: Construct a nonlinear dynamic process and make comparison between the nonlinear dynamic process and the linearized one.
  - (Due 11-26-2021) Assignment 2: Simulate a feedback control loop for a nonlinear process. Explain the control performance depending on the characteristics of the controlled process.
  - (Due 12-??-2021) Assignment 3: Design a PID controller to enhance the control performance in the time domain and in the frequency domain.
  - (Due 1-??-2022) Assignment 4: Make a project to show how to link different control strategies (feedback control, feedforward control, ratio control and cascade control).
- Grading Distribution
  - No quiz and exam will be given. Several homework will be assigned. Homework will be assigned periodically. The homework will consist of applying one of the techniques design methods presented in the course to a problem chosen by students. Analysis and simulation will be expected. Hope that these applications can inspire your fantasy, which contributes to new applications of these techniques in chemical problems or other fields.
  - The course requires basic knowledge in numerical methods, calculus and some computer programming (MATLAB) experience, although it certainly is advantageous to have prior exposure--not strictly required.
