B.Sc in Aerospace Mechanical Engineering, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt (1998). The B.Sc. Project: (1998) The project is about control systems simulation. In this project, the attitude of a rocket control surface “canard” is controlled to achieve a certain designed maneuver. A hydraulic servomechanism was implemented (design and modeling) to control the canard as a practical branch of the project. The main items of the project: Design a controller using nonlinear analysis, “Bang-Off-Bang”. Implementing an interfacing circuit between a microprocessor and the servo mechanism using (C) and (Assembly) languages. Stability analysis of the system using (Matlab).
