Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After completing the course, a student can select proper modeling approaches for specific practical problems, formulate mathematical models of physical systems, construct models of systems using modeling tools such as MATLAB and Simulink, and estimate the parameters of linear and nonlinear static systems and linear dynamic systems from measurement data.
