NB! This course will take place in spring semester 2024/2025 which starts on 3rd of February and ends on 16th of June (you can find that information under Start date section). The real course start and end dates will be announced at the beginning of February at the latest.

• Knows about main methods of modeling and control of complex systems, has an overview of practical applications of these methods; • Can analyze and compare different control techniques, estimate limits of their applicability in practice and combine different methods for finding the best solution of a particular problem; • Can design, simulate and analyze behavior of nonlinear systems in MATLAB/Simulink environment; • Knows and can use different artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms and fractional order models based control algorithms; • Can design simple safety instrumented systems.

Final assessment can consist of one test/assignment or several smaller assignments completed during the whole course. After declaring a course the student can re-sit the exam/assessment once. Assessment can be graded or non-graded. For specific information about the assessment process please get in touch with the contact person of this course. For specific information about grade transfer please contact your home university
