Course Objective

This graduate course in fuzzy-logic based computing and control system engineering aims to develop students understanding of how: (a) a fuzzy computing structure works and executes approximate reasoning algorithmencoded by fuzzy sets and relations; and (b) fuzzy- logic based computing is exploited to design fuzzy-logic control algorithms and control system engineering applications

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   to distunguish concept of fuzzy logic from crisp logic
2   to define arithmetic and logic operations using fuzzy logic
3   to describe fuzzy model of an engineering system
4   to design fuzzy control system
5   to compare the effects of the different controller structures to the systems
