Learning activities and teaching methods
Demonstration, Laboratory work
  • Contact teaching - 52 hours per semester
  • Home preparation for classes - 20 hours per semester
  • Preparation for laboratory work and processing of results - 30 hours per semester
  • Writing a seminar paper - 18 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with practical skills in the field of identification and control of regulated systems of logic, continuous and discrete control systems. The laboratory exercises are demonstrative procedures in the preparation, implementation and performance of experiments, focusing on the design and software solutions of control systems. The student has become the main provider of technical and program resources for the implementation of control systems. In practical tasks and acquiring skills with respect to these resources on selected types of regulated systems.
After completing the course, the student is able to correctly identify the individual functional parts of the control circuit, is familiar with the preparation, conducting and evaluation of experiments leading to the successful management of the regulated system, in order to achieve the set management objective.
