<p>The unit provides students with solid foundation in control system engineering alongside study of the effect of non-linearity on the systems dynamic response. The students will be facilitated to use the theoretical knowledge in laboratory demonstrations, projects and assignments. This will enhance the students level of understanding of the subject as well as allow them to appreciate the application of the unit in a physical environment.</p>

FedTASK
FedTASK
<p>Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FedTASKs (<strong>T</strong>ransferable <strong>A</strong>ttributes <strong>S</strong>kills and <strong>K</strong>nowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key, transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and co-operative learning opportunities.</p>
