    beginner, i dont know about, i would be interested in one of those books myself :confused: but in the mean time i have found these somewhat usefull.

    Norman S Nise. control systems engineering
    there are a few editions but i got the 3rd edition pretty cheap online and its quite similar to any following editions i have seen

    and if you have access to matlab i found this quite good
    Modern Control Systems Analysis And Design Using Matlab, Robert H Bishop

    Can't say I took his class in fourth year but wish I did as I quite enjoyed Control, even if the exams are quite hard. As far as I remember, he also is quite the good supervisor for final year projects.

    From talking to friends who ended up working in ESBI or Eirgrid, it appears 50% of Elec Eng grads come from UCC so from that I assume that most Elec Eng students are in UCC rather than in TCD or UCD. No idea why that is the case though, surely UCD and TCD have decent engineering departments also. Not sure if they have engineering co-ops though which usually lead to jobs with ESBI/Eirgrid if you do the summer there.
