Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• Understand the stages of an engineering approach
• Identify and describe the problem to be solved and the functional need (of prospective clients) to be met considering the state of technology
• Design, evaluate and optimise solutions addressing the problem
• Implement a chosen solution in the form of a drawing, a schema, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model
• Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in science and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Identify, describe and explain basic scientific and mathematical principles
• Identify, describe and explain the basic principles of engineering particularly in their specialising field
• Select and rigorously apply knowledge, tools and methods in sciences and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines

Learning Outcomes of UE

implement continuous/discrete time PID controllers; optimize PID design; compute and implement other types of controllers and/or other control structures; use root locus method for controller design; design a model-based control loop; design digital control loop using stability/accuracy/dynamic performance concepts;

Content of UE

For continuous time control: PID tuning, analysis and tuning of other controllers, design of controllers for disturbance compensation, anti wind-up compensation systems, root locus, cascade control, Smith predictor. For discrete time control: z transform, equivalent z transfer function, stability, accuracy, design of discrete time controller.

Prior Experience

Basic knowledge in continuous time control of industrial processes and, particularly, for SISO (single input single output) systems.
