• 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
