This textbook, authored by an experienced engineer and best-selling writer, offers a comprehensive introduction to control systems, blending theory with real-world applications. Drawing from the author’s background in teaching and industry, it covers essential topics like system modeling, electronics, motor control, and simulation tools. Emphasizing modern instructional methods, the book integrates software tools like Mathcad for solving differential equations, analyzing system performance, and plotting control diagrams. Designed for undergraduate engineering students, it fits within a 14–15 week semester and is suitable for electrical, electronics, mechanical, and chemical engineering programs, as well as some graduate-level courses.

Learning outcomes corresponding to different Bloom’s Taxonomy learning levels are given at the beginning of each chapter.
A sufficient number of worked-out examples—with their purpose stated—are given to ensure that theoretical concepts are effectively explained, which comprise of solution illustrating the application of relevant theory followed by direct solution obtained using Mathcad software tool.
Includes 107 worked-out examples, 273 figures, 234 review questions, 150 MCQs with answers, and 442 chapter-end problems
The fundamentals are kept broad-based so that the topics are built on engineering mathematics such as calculus and differential equations.
Emphasis is on open-ended design problems meeting certain specifications.
Includes a license key for our digital learning app, Cengage Digital App, that provides access to Flashcards, Self-assessments, and Concept Maps
