Learning outcomes of the course unit

By mastering the objectives of the Automated Control Systems – industrial information technology course the student will acquire knowledge of both theory and practical application of cybernetics in the area of system control theory. In addition, they will master fundamentals of analysis and synthesis of linear systems as well as mathematical modelling of dynamic systems. They will master fundamentals of non-linear and extreme systems, fuzzy systems and principles of common sense logics.

Prerequisites
