Osaamistavoitteet

After completing the course the student
- Understands the mathematical concepts in modeling dynamical state space systems and is able to simulate their time response in MATLAB/Simulink
- Understands the concepts of open loop and feedback control
- Understands the concepts of robustness and optimality in terms of dynamical system response
- Can design PID controllers for simple dynamical systems arising in mechanical engineering (e.g. vibration damping, heat transfer)
