Content

NB! This is an elective course and may be cancelled if fewer than 10 students are enrolled by January 20th.

The course offers comprehensive instruction on the development of both static and dynamic physics-based models. It enhances skills in programming and introduces digital tools for machine learning applications, data analytics techniques, and data management methods. Additionally, it covers control techniques, including various controller designs, automation tools, and industrial control systems. The course also includes practical demonstrations of laboratory systems and digital twin technology for automated systems and real-time automation operations.

Adjustments to the plan may occur.

Course assessment

There must be an early dialogue between the course supervisor, the student union representative and the students. The purpose is feedback from the students for changes and adjustments in the course for the current semester.In addition, a digital subject evaluation must be carried out at least every three years. Its purpose is to gather the students experiences with the course.
