Course abstract
The aim of the study course is to give students knowledge in Modelling of Systems' Dynamic. Students obtain principles of building and solving of differential equations for electrical, mechanical, electromechanical and hydrodynamic systems. Students obtain skills in systems' modelling using Matlab-Simulink tools.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
Knowledge - master students gain an in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge of modelling technical systems, solving differential equations for mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems. Gain knowledge in using Matlab-Simulink software in engineering calculations and system modelling. The knowledge gained serves as a basis for further research and development of creative thinking. Knowledge is evaluated in tests and laboratory works.
Skills - master students are able to use the acquired knowledge creatively to build mathematical models of technical systems using Matlab-Simulink tools. Able to evaluate system modelling results. Assessment - execution of laboratory works.
Competence - master students are able to apply professional knowledge and skills of Modelling of Dynamic Systems in practical work and studies to critically analyse complicated engineering and technical systems, determinate its limits, create and evaluate models of systems. Competences is evaluated in tests and laboratory works.
