Module: FB16 - 4026 /  FB16 - 4006

• Supervision:
  Scientific staff of the group

• Extent:
  equivalent of 8 lecture hours per week, 12 credit points (FB16 - 4026) respectively equivalent of 4 lecture hours per week, 6 credit points (FB16 - 4006)

• Content:
  The student choose a topic related to a current research project of the lab. The work on the chosen topic typically comprises the following steps:
  • 1. Analysis of the specified problem and reading relevant literature
  • 2. Dynamic modeling of a system to be considered
  • 3. Model-based design of a controller and often implementation of the algorithm in Matlab/Simulink
  • 4. Evaluation of the control performance by numeric simulation (possible modification of the controller if necessary)
  • 5. Documentation of the results

• Prerequisites:
  necessary: successful completion of the courses Grundlagen der Regelungstechnik, Lineare Regelungssysteme, Matlab Grundlagen; depending on the chosen subject, the following courses my be necessary in addition: Nichtlineare Regelungssysteme, Discrete Event Systems and Control Theory
• Assignment to degree programs:
  B.Sc. Electrical Engineering (FB16 - 4016)
  B.Sc. Mechatronics (FB16 - 4006)

• Recommendation:
  If chosen within the B.Sc. program of Electrical Engineering, it is reasonable to thematically couple the project work with the B.Sc. thesis in order to allow for a more comprehensive study of the selected topic.

The start of the project work can be arranged flexibly upon request.
