Course Description
This class aims to give students a deep appreciation and introductory understanding of the following fundamental engineering science topics:
The dual variables of Effort
and
Flow
how power flows between interacting objects, regardless of their domain
(e.g. Electrical, Mechanical, Thermal, Biological, etc...).
State
how systems remember the past, and which results from the time integration
and storage of energy.
Transduction
the bidirectional transformation of effort and flow from one domain to
another.
Feedback
used in almost all engineered devices to bring about desired behavior
despite undesired disturbances.
