Course in Feedback & Control

<p>I’m looking at taking a course in Feedback & Controls. It appears to be a challenging course and I’m concerned about how difficult it is.</p>

<p>The course has as prerequisites either signal processing or dynamic systems/vibration/control. I haven’t taken either of these classes.</p>

<p>What is your experience with controls?</p>

<p>Obviously, the difficulty and content will vary based on the school and instructor. I’m wondering what your experience is with this course.</p>

<p>I had to take one class in controls and I hated it. I love the idea, but it seemed to be way more Computer Engineering and programming than something a ChemE would want to bother with. IMO, however, Controls Engineers (regardless of undergrad degree) are worth their weight in gold… unless they are really, really heavy</p>
