Uses graphical representations of mathematical models to examine control systems. Designs PID controller compensation for linear single-loop feedback control systems. Can mathematically handle nonlinearities occurring in control systems. Analyzes processes and control systems from several perspectives. Can identify simpler control engineering problems, applying the theoretical and practical background needed to solve them, and uses learned solution methods. Defines the application needs of multi-loop controls, digital control, and modern state space control systems. Applies IT knowledge to solve complex, computationally intensive tasks. Expresses his/her thoughts in an orderly form, orally and in writing.
Attitude
Expands his/her knowledge of control engineering by continuous learning. Is open to the use of information technology tools. Seeks to learn about and routinely use tools to solve control engineering problems. Strives for an accurate and error-free solution using only the tools allowed. Seeks to apply the principles of energy efficiency and environmental awareness in solving control engineering tasks.
Independence and responsibility
Collaborates with the instructor and fellow students to expand knowledge. Independently thinks through control engineering tasks and problems and solves them based on specific resources. Accepts well-founded critical remarks about his/her knowledge and work. In some situations, as a team member, works with fellow students to solve tasks. Is committed to the acquisition of the required knowledge in accordance with his/her abilities.
Teaching methodology
In the lectures, the teaching method is frontal. Students can answer the questions related to the students' topic and the speaker in an appropriate form. After the guided solution of the calculation tasks presented in the exercises, the students can solve the related tasks independently after the preliminary preparation. There are optional knowledge testing and problem-solving according to students’ requirements in and outside of classes. IT tools and techniques related to task solutions are described in lessons and with separate aids.

General rules
Learning outcomes are assessed based on two mid-term written performance measurements (two summative assessments of academic performance, in-class dissertation), active participation in classes (partial performance assessment), solving non-compulsory extracurricular tasks, and a written exam after passing the mid-term requirements. The results of optional assessments may improve the valid grade obtained in the exam. With continuous active participation both in class and outside of class and good mid-term results, an exam grade might be offered.
Assessment methods
Detailed description of mid-term assessments
| Mid-term assessment No. 1 | ||
| Type: | summative assessment | |
| Number: | 2 | |
| Purpose, description: | A complex, written way of evaluating the knowledge and ability type competence elements of the subject. The paper basically focuses on applying the acquired knowledge, so it focuses on problem recognition and solution. In addition to theoretical knowledge, practical (calculation) tasks must be solved during performance evaluation. The lecturer of the subject determines the part of the curriculum on which the assessment is based. The available working time is 45 minutes. Roughly the first and second thirds of the semester are closed by a 25-point paper. The combined minimum requirement to obtain a signature is at least 20 of 25+25=50 points). | |
Detailed description of assessments performed during the examination period
Elements of the exam:
| Written partial exam | ||
| Obligation: | mandatory (partial) exam unit, failing the unit results in fail (1) exam result | |
| Description: | The summary evaluation consists of two written parts. The required minimum level must be reached separately for each of these parts, as follows. Of the minimum questions required by the criteria, 80% must be achieved in the time specified in the examination, up to a maximum of 30 minutes. The numerical result of the minimum questions is not included in the exam result. Elaboration of theoretical questions, solution of calculation and drawing problems result in 50 points, out of which at least 20 (40%) must be achieved for a successful examination result. If a student scores below the required minimum level in any section, the exam grade is fail (1). | |
| Inclusion of mid-term results | ||
| Obligation: | mandatory (partial) exam unit, but failing the unit does not results in fail (1) exam result | |
| Description: | A total of 50 points from the two 25-point mid-term papers and 50 points from the written examination form the basis for calculating the grade. The combined result of the two mid-term papers must be at least 20 points (40%), so that the "signed" entry is obtained. A student who takes an exam course and has a valid signature from a previous semester carries the aggregate result obtained in the semester of obtaining the signature for the exam. | |
The weight of mid-term assessments in signing or in final grading
| ID | Proportion |
|---|---|
| Mid-term assessment No. 1 | 100 % |
The condition for signing is that the score obtained in the mid-year assessments is at least 40%.
The weight of partial exams in grade
| Type: | Proportion |
|---|---|
| Written partial exam | 50 % |
| Inclusion of mid-term results | 50 % |
Determination of the grade
| Grade | ECTS | The grade expressed in percents |
|---|---|---|
| very good (5) | Excellent [A] | above 90 % |
| very good (5) | Very Good [B] | 85 % - 90 % |
| good (4) | Good [C] | 70 % - 85 % |
| satisfactory (3) | Satisfactory [D] | 55 % - 70 % |
| sufficient (2) | Pass [E] | 40 % - 55 % |
| insufficient (1) | Fail [F] | below 40 % |
The lower limit specified for each grade already belongs to that grade.
Attendance and participation requirements
Must be present at at least 50% (rounded down) of lectures.
At least 70% the exercises (rounded down) must be actively attended.
Special rules for improving, retaken and replacement
The special rules for improving, retaken and replacement shall be interpreted and applied in conjunction with the general rules of the CoS (TVSZ).
| Need mid-term assessment to invidually complete? | ||
| NO | ||
| The way of retaking or improving a summary assessment for the first time: | ||
| the summative assessments can be retaken or improved only combined | ||
| Is the retaking-improving of a summary assessment allowed, and if so, than which form: | ||
| one single, combined retake or grade-improving exam is possible for all assesments | ||
| Taking into account the previous result in case of improvement, retaken-improvement: | ||
| out of multiple results, the best one is to be taken into account | ||
