Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Content
The project unit focuses on the identification and/or estimation of engineering systems for the control design purpose. The considered systems can come from (petro-)chemical process industry, offshore oil and gas industry, mechanical systems, robots or other engineering systems with the requirements for identification  and/or estimation. The considered problem should be formulated and analyzed, then some proper identification/estimation method needs to be selected and implemented. The designed/constructed system is assessed through simulation and practical test as well.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Have knowledge and comprehension for the system identification techniques.
• Have fundamental knowledge and comprehension of probability, statistics and stochastic processes.
• Have knowledge of the phases that an engineering project go through
• Understand various theories and methods applied in problem based learning and group organized project work. 

Skills

• Be able to choose different system identification/estimation methods and algorithms for different identification and/or estimation engineering problems.
• Be able to evaluate the results using the probabilistic and/or statistic sense.
• Be able to verify the analytical and numerical approaches by means of simple laboratory experiments
• Be able to communicate scientific results by use of papers, posters and oral presentations
• Are able to plan and take part in a small group of students working on a problem based project
• Can reflect on experiences obtained through problem based learning and group organized project work
• Can discuss various approaches to project management. 

Competences

• Be able to control the working and development process within the project theme, and be able to develop new solutions within identification/estimation technology
