Room G07-005
0391/6712212

Time and Place

Thursday, 13.00-15.00 G22A-218 Lecture
Monday 9.00-11.00 G22A-218 Exercise odd weeks

General Information

Students will be trained to identify ways of looking at control technical problems, to describe them and to develope solutions together with the automation engineer. Main aspects are the forms of modelling for the design of logic controls and sequence controls.

Requirements

pre-degree examination, control theory for mechanical engineers
