Prerequisites (course unit)

Basics of Control Engineering

Location and time

Information on virtual classes is given in the beginning of the course and on Moodle. Information on timing is available via Lukkari.

Exam schedules

A failed course can be compensated by passing a new exam.

Assessment methods and criteria

Student performance assessment is based on completed home excercises and a passed exam.

Assessment scale

0-5

Teaching methods

Virtual teaching, home excercices, self-learning.

Learning materials

Lectures, notes made by a student, other referred material by a lecturer.

Student workload

The total working hours for passing the course is ca. 133 hours (5 cr x 1600/60 h/cr) of which a student has to allocate a major part for self-learning.

Content scheduling

The course involves teaching on a regular basis. The more detailed course structure is introduced in the first class and it will be available in the course information on Moodle afterwards.

Completion alternatives

None.

Practical training and working life cooperation

None.

International connections

The course involves no travelling abroad.

Further information

For passing the course, learning by doing home excercises on a continuous basis and self-learning are emphasized.
