Starting from the basic methods of linear control engineering, students are able to handle and solve complex control tasks from analysis to controller implementation.
They are able to apply the frequency domain methods and the root locus method for related control problems.
They know and understand the principle of linearization of nonlinear systems.
They are familiar with the basics of digital control engineering and know the required mathematical methods. They are able to implement, test and evaluate controllers on different platforms in software.
