Educational Goals

The learning objectives is to:
• Introduce the student to Software used in the study and problem solving in the field of Industrial Engineering and Management.
• Provide him with the appropriate knowledge and skills to be able to simulate and solve problems in the various fields of engineering science (eg Applied Mathematics, Automated Control Systems, Signals and Systems, Electrical Circuits, etc.).
• Use the Computer Control (CC) and MATLAB (Simulink) software for the above procedures, in addition to the standard method.

General Skills

Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and information, with the use of the necessary technology
Working independently
Teamwork
Project planning and management
Production of new research ideas

Teaching Methods

Presentation with Software and a whiteboard. Contact by e-mail and Moodle. Solution of exercises and Case Studies with Simulation Software.

Students Evaluation

Final exams (100%): Study of an integral system with analysis and synthesis of his elements according to the study methods examined during the course.
Project in special cases.
