Clinical Engineering

General objectives The course focuses on the analysis and control of dynamic systems, with particular reference to linear time-invariant systems. Specific objectives Knowledge and understanding: Students will learn the basic methods for the analysis and control of linear time-invariant systems. In particular, students will learn how to characterize a system to be controlled, from the point of view of structural characteristics, and which possible methods can be used for the design of controllers. Apply knowledge and understanding: Students will be able to design controllers that ensure the satisfaction of specifications concerning the stability, tracking and rejection of disturbances using frequency domain and eigenvalue assignment methodologies. Critical and judgment skills: The student will be able to choose the most suitable control methodology for a specific system based on the control specifications. Communication skills: The course activities allow the student to be able to communicate / share the main problems concerning time-invariant linear systems and the possible design choices for the control of such systems. Learning ability: The aim of the course is to make students aware on how to deal with analysis and control problems in the context of automatic controls.
