Seat Ingegneria
A.A. 2015/2016
Credits 9
Hours 72
Period II
Language ENG

Prerequisites
Linear Algebra, Mathematical Analysis, Differential Equations, Laplace Transform, Linear Systems.

Learning outcomes
The course aim is to provide students with knowledge and skills on analysis and design of automatic control systems. In addition to the appropriate use of analytical tools, the student will acquire design fundamentals necessary for the formation of an engineer.

Program
Fundamentals on analysis and design of automatic control systems for linear plants. Characteristics and performance of feedback control systems. Frequency response and root locus design techniques for SISO feedback systems. PID industrial compensators. Digital control systems.

Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
The assessment of student learning consists of a written test and an oral test. The written test consists in solving two problems of analysis and / or synthesis related to the feedback control systems. The oral exam consists of answering two of the topics covered in the course and, for organizational reasons, it can be carried out on the same day of the written test, or in the immediately following days. In any case, the oral exam must be taken in the same exam session of the written test. In the event that the overall assessment is insufficient, the student must repeat the exam entirely.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
To successfully pass the assessment of learning, the student must first have a competence of all the mathematical tools needed to understand the topics covered in the course. He must also know the basic structure of feedback control systems and the properties that these systems should possess. Finally, he must be able to analyze and to synthesize a feedback control system, using the tools learnt in the course, both from a theoretical point of view, showing that he has understood in depth all the topics studied, and from a practical point, showing to be able to solve examples and exercises on the analysis and synthesis of these systems.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
The written test and each of the two oral questions are graded by a score between zero and ten. The overall evaluation is the sum of the three scores and is marked out of thirty. In order to be admitted to the oral examination, the student should have obt

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
In order to have a positive evaluation, the student must achieve an overall score of at least eighteen, with the constraint that in each of the two oral questions the evaluation must be at least six. In order to be admitted to the oral examination, the student should have obtained an assessment equal or more than four out of ten. Full marks cum laude are given to students who have achieved the highest rating in the written test and the oral exam, and have shown a particular brilliance.
