Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course consists of a project, where the students design and implement a control system on a physical system. Given specifications should be satisfied. The work can be divided into three phases:

  • Physical and experimental modelling;
  • Controller design, analysis and simulation;
  • Implementation in a real time control system;
  • The work is done in small groups and is documented in a report and an oral presentation at a seminar.

Intended learning outcomes

The student should after the course be able to work in control related projects. He/she should be able to do modelling, control design, analysis and implementation of a control system for a laboratory process.

In particular, the students should be able to:

  • Do collaborative work in a group.
  • Write a project plan
  • Model and simulate a laboratory process
  • Design a control system that meets given specifications
  • Implement the control system in a real time computer system like LabView
  • Give oral project presents the project and design a poster
  • Write a project report.
