Students are familiar with the basic structures, concepts and methods of control engineering and can apply these to all simple technical and physical systems. Using the Laplace transformation, transfer function, frequency response, stability criteria, state space concept and the description of mathematical systems, students learn how to set up equations for unknown dynamic systems. Furthermore, control loop elements, the analysis of linear systems in the time and frequency domain and controller design for unknown systems can be applied. Using theoretical and illustrative examples, students will be able to abstract and deal with control engineering problems from a wide range of disciplines. The control engineering methods and requirements are placed in the context of the design of production processes, process optimization and process control and can be transferred by the students to corresponding unknown systems.
