Nise, N. S. 2010. Control Systems Engineering, 6th ed. Hoboken, NJ John Wiley Sons. Focuses on the practical application of control systems engineering. Explains how to analyze and design real-world feedback control systems. Real world examples demonstrate the design process. This edition includes 20% new end-of-chapter problems that highlight biomedical, aerospace, and other engineering applications. Additional skill assessment exercises, in-chapter examples, review questions, and problems reinforce key concepts. 

The For Review section, at the beginning of the end-of-chapter exercises, has been reorganized to help students more easily identify key concepts and test themselves on these coneepts with review questions. 

The key shortcoming of the CLL approach from an EIA practitioner s perspective is data uncertainty—a sore subject for any predictive exercise. This is especially true for a simplified algorithm for critical load calculation (see above). Both assessors and reviewers will ask the following questions ... 

Part III provides reviews and strategies for answering the different kinds of multiple-choice and free-response questions you will encounter on the test. You will have numerous opportunities to practice what you are learning in the Try It Out quizzes and exercises that follow the reviews. It is a good idea to read the answer explanations to all of the questions, because you may find ideas or tips that will help you better analyze the answers in the practice tests. 

In spite of the fact that this is not intended to be a handbook, some very brief comments on what may be considered organizational aspects of laboratory practice may not be out of place. These may be considered within the wider context of precautions that should be exercised in all analytical laboratories. First of all, attention is drawn to the important principles of quality control, to procedures for numerical analysis of data, and to the important issue of documentation, all of which have been covered succinctly in a review (Keith et al. 1983) and more extensively in books (Keith 1988 1992). It cannot be too strongly emphasized that the analyst is part of a team, and that he or she should play an active part in both the planning and execution of the proposed investigation thereby, many pitfalls — and unnecessary irritation — may be avoided. For example, some conflict may arise over the number of samples required to answer the specific questions that are posed, and resolution of this issue should take priority in planning discussions. In addition, the level of accuracy should be decided at the outset, and care taken that sufficient samples are available for duplicates to be preserved for reanalysis if necessary — and that these are preserved in an acceptable manner. It is worth emphasizing that analytical results may be used in social or political contexts in which numbers may be readily misused. The level of accuracy and interpretation of the data are therefore of cardinal importance in such circumstances.
