state-space form
- Be able to solve state-space equation and be able to analyse
system's response and stability based on a state-space
model
- Be able to design both state-space controller and state-space
observer for continuous time systems
- Be able to model and analyse discrete-time systems in both open
and closed-loop

digital controllers
Competences
- Be able to handle developments in connection with state-space
and digital control
- Participate independently in professional and interdisciplinary
collaboration with a professional approach for state-space and
digital control
- Identify own learning needs and structure own learning within
state-space and digital control
Type of instruction
The programme is based on a combination of academic, problem
oriented and interdisciplinary approaches and organised based on
the following types of instruction that combine skills and
re-flection:
• lectures
• class teaching
• project work
• workshops
• exercises (individually and in groups)
• teacher feedback
• professional reflection
• portfolio work
• laboratory work
