Objectives

Aims: Acquisition of essential knowledge and skills to apply analysis methods of hybrid systems, which dynamic is simultaneously time-driven and event-driven. Design of control systems.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Theoretical classes: presentation of themes
Theoretical-practical classes: exercise preparation and resolution (Homework and mini-assignments). Feedback on the work done

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation with final exam

Eligibility for exams

Students have to attend to classes and reach a minimum mark of 3 in the mini-assignments, to be admitted to exams.

Calculation formula of final grade

Final Mark will be based on two components: continuous assessment and final exam
Final Exam is a written exam which last 2 hours.
Final Exam is worth 60% of the Final Mark, while the reports of the mini-assignments and respective discussion are worth 40% of the Final Mark.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Students who do not need to attend to classes (according to line a), b) and c) of Article 4 of General Evaluation Rules of FEUP 2002), can attend to a written exam, which will not last more than 3 hours. It will take place an exam with about the same length for students who want to improve their marks.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Students who do not need to attend to classes (according to line a), b) and c) of Article 4 of General Evaluation Rules of FEUP 2002), can attend to a written exam, which will take place at the normal season of exams.

Classification improvement

Students can improve their grades according to Article 10 line 1 of General Evaluation Rules of FEUP, if they enroll for the new exam in time.
