Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
The project must be based on a physical process. The process can
be mechanical, thermal, electrical, biologic or chemical. A dynamic
model of the process has to be developed. The model has to be
adjusted and verified through measurements. Demands as well in the
time as in the frequency domain has to be specified. Using the
dynamic model classic controllers are designed and implemented on
the process. The controllers have to be evaluated and compared to
the demands
