Course Catalog 2013-2014
ASE-1257 Introduction to Control, 4 cr |
Additional information
The course is designed and mostly intended for the MSc program of Machine Automation (MA). Its contact teaching hours (of 11 lectures, 11 exercises and 4 compulsory PC exercises) are included in those of ASE-1256 (6 cr). Each student of ASE-1257 should also register for ASE-1256. MA students are also welcome to the wider ASE-1256. Other students are strongly encouraged to ASE-1256 to get a better match with a similar course in their home university. A student can get the credit points from only one of the courses ASE-1257, ASE-1256. The material may vary from year to year and is specified within POP of ASE-1256. Extra points are available from e.g. an voluntary PC session.

Learning Outcomes
After the course the student knows the potential and limitations of decision & control both within and beyond actual control engineering ; knows typical control structures as well as connections and the roles nature of the control system components; can derive simple dynamical models, simplify models and perform model conversations; masters typical system terms and concepts including performance specifications; is able to describe and analyze control systems and other dynamical systems; understands , and can analyze and even limitedly design stability, damping, accuracy and speed of systems with standard methods; is able to analyze potential stability and performance risks due to uncertainty and guard against them ; can exploit use Matlab, Simulink, Control System Toolbox and Symbolic Toolbox or another similar enough software in the tasks mentioned is able to communicate on these things with students and engineers educated elsewhere.

| This short course is designed for MSc Degree Students of Machine Automation. The wider ASE-1256 (6cr) is recommended for other students. All the sessions of ASE-1257 are included in those of ASE-1256. All the participants of ASE-1257 should register both into ASE-1257 for credit point administration and into ASE-1256 for document downloads and management of the compulsory sessions (PC sessions, LAB session, exams etc.). |
