OVERVIEW

Systems' Theory is one of the first discipline where mathematical and real aspects of engineering meet. Different skills are integrated to build and analyze mathematical models representing actual systems, in order to understand, foresee and control their behaviour.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

This teaching unit aims to provide students with fundamental knowledge of electrical circuit theory and the ability to analyze linear circuits in steady state, sinusoidal regime, and transient conditions. The topics covered are presented to students in a way that helps them become familiar with essential tools from mathematics, physics, and geometry needed for circuit analysis.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course aims to provide the students the necessay methods to build mathematical models for dynamic systems. On the basis of such tools, the analysis and control of the considered systems will be carried out.

Atthe end of the course, the student will be able to model and analyze in different situations 'real systems' and determine if and how the  behaviour of such systems can be controlled in presence of different external stimuli.

In general: advanced personal skills

PREREQUISITES

Are required basik skills in Calculus, Algebra, Elements of geometry in the space, physics, electricity.

The formal prerequisite requirements are only for the sudents in Biomedical Engineering. No formal prerequisite is required to the students in Computer Engineering

TEACHING METHODS

Front lessons with solved exercises. Depending on particular weather alerts lessons may be taught in blended modality and/or with the availability of videolessons

Working students and students with certification of DSA, disability or other special educational needs are advised to contact the
teacher at the beginning of the course to agree on teaching and exam methods which, in compliance with the teaching objectives, take into account the methods
of individual learning.

EXAM DESCRIPTION

Oral examination. Students with learning disorders ("disturbi specifici di apprendimento", DSA) will be allowed to use specific modalities and supports that will be determined on a case-by-case basis in agreement with the delegate of the Engineering courses in the Committee for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

Analysis of the properties of a dynamic system. Starting from an exercise students are required to show theircomprehension about the behavior of dynamical systems and the characterizing  properties.
