Control Engineering

General goals (Mod. I) The course illustrates the methodologies of optimal control. The student will be able to formulate, analyze, and search for solutions of optimization problems of different nature by an appropriate use of optimality conditions, with emphasis on optimal control problems. Specific outcomes - Knowledge and understanding The Students will lean the methods of optimal control theory and the main applications in different fields. - Capability to apply knowledge and understanding The Students will be able to propose the optimal control strategies depending on the specific problem at hand. - Critical and judgment skill The Students will be able to analyze control problems, proposing and implementing optimal control strategies. - Communication skills The course activities will allow the Students to increase their communication capabilities in scientific fields. - Learning skills One of the aim of the course is to increase the critical skills of the Students; they will be able to tackle a control problem, starting from the literature analysis, to the optimal control aspects, up to the implementation.
