Description:

This course provides an introduction in techniques to model, analyze and predict the behaviour of dynamic systems. The course integrates the knowledge gained from previous courses on mechanical and electrical engineering as well as differential equations. Such an integration leads to a better understanding and a mature appreciation of the dynamics of engineering systems.

Prerequisites:

Third (or second) year registration
Engineering 91.111 and Mathematics 69.105 or 69.201
