Course Catalog 2012-2013
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. Active participation on the last lecture and exercise frees the student from examination of their topic.
