Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

WIBASc-515 Industrial Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2013 , semester 5, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module students will:
_        have learned the basics of control engineering for linear, time-invariant control systems.
_        can describe and characterize suitable systems by combining basic transfer functions.
_        have the ability to evaluate a given linear and time-invariant system in terms of stability.
_        be able to select a known controller type for a given system and justify their choice, and
_        be able to apply a tuning procedure for the selected controller and parameterize the controller.
_        be familiar with saturation of control variables and their effects, as well as have insight into the subject of nonlinear systems, feedforward control and iterative learning controllers.
_        have the ability to apply what they have learned in the Matlab/Simulink simulation environment and in connection with Lego Mindstorms NXT and Labview for predefined systems.
