Course development

The format of the examination was revised a little bit, going back to individual projects and focusing on some technical aspects that did not appear in previous examinations. The lecture content is, for the most part, unchanged.

The major change was introducing a larger, single project for the examination to be done in groups instead of six smaller individual projects. The result is so-and-so; not sure that it was fully successful. To be rethought for the next years.

The content of the lectures was slightly simplified in the content to remove less relevant parts. Some additional effort to streamline the content of the project assignments towards the course material, in order to allow less struggles for the students in a difficult semester.

Several modifications on the lecture format and examination structure, following the pandemic emergency: - Lectures online in real-time, archived as videos for future reference - Written examination form in class abolished - The exam is based on six assignments covering the course (six Matlab/Simulink exercises) - The laboratory experience is kept unchanged.

Complete course re-hauling from the previous years: - new lectures - new exercises - new examination style - dismissed the old compendium. A book is suggested, but in the long run a new compendium will be written and used.
