Intended learning outcomes (Knowledges, skills and competencies to be developed by the students)

It is intended that students acquire knowledge of the basic elements and concepts of open loop and closed loop. Analyze and characterize systems, based on their response over time. Get the notion of stability. Understand the basic actions of controllers and their influence on the performance and stability of a control loop.
Obtain the capacity to develop strategies of control and supervision over real systems of supervision and control of current generation, with emphasis on the practical aspects of their realization.

Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

Theoretical-Practical classes consisting of:
• Presentation of the subject and critical reflection through the debate with the students.
• Case studies and implementation exercises.
Laboratory classes consisting of:
• Experimental work;
• Use of real and simulation devices.
The assessment is based on:
• Two evaluation tests or final exam.
• Realization of laboratory work with report delivery.

Teaching methodologies

The classes will have a presentation component in the classroom of the concepts and accomplishment of exercises.
There will also be a laboratory component for experimental realization.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

Continuous assessment with tests or final exam.

Continuous Evaluation: - 2 Tests. The minimum mark in each test is 8.0 points.
The theoretical grade (T) is obtained by the mean of the tests and must be greater than or equal to 9.5v.
An alternative final exam for tests with a grade equal to or greater than 9.5v.
Final scores higher than 17 are defended in an oral test.

Labs: Report delivery at the end of class: The grade (L) is obtained by the average grade of the reports and must be greater than or equal to 9.0v.

The final grade is the weighted average of the two (T, L): NF = 0.8.T + 0.2.L
_______________________________
Rules for taking tests:
• When requested, an identification document must be presented during the tests.
• Only written tests are accepted in ESTSetúbal test/examination books.
• The room can only be abandoned 30 minutes after the start of the test and implies the final delivery of the test, and the delay cannot exceed 15 minutes under any circumstances.
• Calculation machines with graphics or alphanumeric capabilities cannot be used during the tests unless the teacher explicitly authorizes them.
• During the tests, the handling or display of mobile phones (which must be switched off) and other electronic equipment is not allowed, and any of this type of equipment is used to cancel the test.
