Learning objectives
Acquired knowledge: the student will acquire methods and basic knowledge for identifying mathematical models of systems and plants. The student will also acquire the basic skills for designing adaptive systems.
Applying knowledge: the student will apply the acquired knowledge to identify industrial processes and to design industrial adaptive controls.
Independence of thinking: the student will be able to understand and critically evaluate existing mathematical plant models and adaptive controllers.
Communication skills: the student will acquire the specific language for modelling and adaptive control.Learning autonomy: the student will be able to learn on his/her own new specific related topics.
