Unfortunately, no. Feedback control systems are normally taught in your 3rd year of electrical engineering BSEE program, after you have learned enough math to work in the frequency domain, and learned to characterize control systems.
So I guess what I was really saying is that, you can develop an intuitive sense of what a PID control system does, and what each component of the P I D does
and you can get a closed loop feedback control system to work more or less like you want it to
but to really be able to optimize a feedback system, you gotta take that Signals and Systems course (and the pre-req math courses).
I hate to leave this hanging like an end of season cliff hanger, or an engineering teaser. Feedback control system design is one of those things where you can dip your toe in the water and experience something new and incredible
and you can dive down 5 miles deep, and find new things that you didnt see when you were only 4 miles deep.
Its something you can dabble in now and
its something to look forward to in college.
