Prerequisites
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The course grade is based on a standard 0-100 point scale. The evaluation includes one test and a semester project. Participation in the exercises is compulsory. Attendance and activity in the exercises are monitored in accordance with the assessment criteria set for the exercises.
Language of instruction
English
Aims
Students will learn about modelling dynamic systems (mechanical, electromechanical and controlled) on a computer. During the course they will acquire knowledge and skills in the following areas:
- Linear dynamical systems and their analysis
- Modeling in MATLAB/Simulink environment
- Modeling of controlled systems
- Hands-on experience in controlling a real system using an I/O card from MATLAB/Simulink
This course combines theoretical knowledge with practical use in engineering applications.
