Learning Outcomes
The course has a practical approach to the functional and selectional principles of sensors that are used in computer science, and to the design and implementation of a control system. After completing the course, the student can describe and analyze dynamic control systems and feedback controls mathematically and by using computer simulation. She can describe the main principles and features of basic control algorithms, and she can select sensors for control applications. The student is able to tell about the importance of control technology to the local energy industry, and she can design and implement a dynamic control system.
Student's Workload
135 h, which contains 70 h of scheduled contact studies.
The assessment of student’s own learning 1 h is included in contact lessons.
Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses
Basics of Embedded Systems, Sottware Testing.
Contents
