ASE-1256 Introduction to Control and Automation, 6 cr

Additional information

The third weekly exercise hour is for repetition of pre-knowledge and new topics. A shorter course ASE-1257 is available for MSc Degree Program of Machine Automation. The student can take only one of the courses ASE-1256, ASE-1257, ASE-1250. The material may vary from year to year. Extra points are available from a voluntary PC session PCG and from a Guest Lecture or another session.
