1. Introduction The SEB&C program wants to contribute to the transition to an energy‐positive built environment in which indoor

environmental quality is optimized for health, comfort and/or productivity. This is a relevant theme for society

(consider the goals set by the European Commission), building industry and university (consider the TU/e’s Strategic

Areas: Energy, Health and Smart Mobility). The Strategic Area Energy developed a roadmap for the built environment

(see the text box) which defines clear goals for the future. To achieve the goals of this roadmap, a multiscale and

transdisciplinary approach is required which:

addresses technological solutions for energy generation, storage, distribution and demand reduction, and

integrates and optimizes these in design, construction and operation of new and existing buildings.

This translates to the following focus areas or themes for the SEB&C program and its design projects:

Intelligent and energy efficient building

components.

Building concepts aimed at intelligent use of

(as less as possible) energy.

Energy generation in the built environment.

Intelligent networks aimed at the alignment

of supply and demand of energy.

Strategic development for companies and

regulators in the field of energy and

sustainability.

1.1 Program goals

The goal of the SEB&C program is to service industry

(consulting, policy making, product development) by

delivering designers with a broad technological

understanding of energy related disciplines in the built environment (mechanical engineering, electrical engineering,

building physics and services and ICT), who excel in their own discipline and who are able to work in multidisciplinary

design teams, contribute to design issues outside their own core disciplines, integrate different technologies into new

products and concepts, and who understand the commercial aspects of these innovative products and concepts.

1.2 Admission criteria and Graduate profile

The program uses certain admission criteria to select candidates that can start with the program; these admission

criteria can be found in Appendix A. The candidates that enrol in the program are expected to own a set of skill and

competences after finishing the program. These skills and competences are describe in the Graduate profile; see

Appendix B. The graduate profile is divided in four skills and competence categories: designer, knowledge,

professional and entrepreneurial. The acquired skills and competences give the graduated SEB&C trainee a clear

advantage over MSc graduates when entering the job market. After successful completion of the program, the

trainees receive a certified diploma which entitles them to use the academic degree of Professional Doctorate in

Engineering (PDEng).

3. Program overview and planning 3.1 Program overview and structure

The SEB&C program consists of two main parts:

1. Workshops

You will follow workshops on design methods, entrepreneurship and professional skills. Furthermore, you will

follow technical workshops in which you acquire knowledge concerning important concepts of disciplines other

than your own (master) specialism. The workshops are structured in the following six program modules (a

detailed descriptions of each module and its workshops can be found in Appendix C and E):

‐ Design

‐ Entrepreneurship

‐ Professional development

‐ Energy transition

‐ Design and engineering (technical workshops)

‐ Smart building controls (technical workshops)

The technical workshops aim to increase your knowledge in the related disciplines to at least a conceptual

knowledge, which allows you to communicate more effectively with other members in interdisciplinary design

teams. Depending on the workshop topic and your (master) specialism you follow the workshops on either level 1

(L1) or level 2 (L2), where:

‐ L1, which leads to conceptual knowledge of the state of the art in the subject.

‐ L2, which leads to advanced knowledge of the state of the art of the technology (L1 level is a prerequisite;

typically you follow this level for your master specialism).

2. Design projects

You will work on a design project with a group of SEB&C trainees and you will work an individual company

assignment. The latter is a design project in collaboration with a company and the university. As a trainee it is

your main responsibility to manage and execute the project. You are supported by an advisor from the company

and an advisor from the university. A business plan for implementation or marketing of the project or product is

part of the final deliverables.

3.2 Workshop planning

Each workshop and the group design project are planned once a year. As a trainee it is your responsibility to make sure

that you complete all workshops within the two years of the program. A planning of the workshops can be found in

Appendix D. At the start of the program you will make an appointment with the operational manager to discuss about

your personal workshop planning.

4. Company assignment The company assignment is the individual project that you need to complete in order to graduate. Managing and

executing the project is your main responsibility. You are supported by an advisor from the company and an advisor

from the university. Below you find an overview of the required project meetings and project reports.

Overview of key project meetings (black dots), progress meetings (white dots) and required project reports (the Qxr’s are the

quarterly progress reports). NB. In this figure for simplicity it is assumed that the project starts at the first of January; this is of

course not necessarily true for your project.

4.1 Project meetings

4.1.1 Introductory meeting (month 1)

You are asked to organize an introductory meeting with the project design team (university and company advisor), the

scientific director of SEB&C and the operational manager of SEB&C. In this meeting the MT of SEB&C wants to

emphasize (and if necessary clarify) the goals of a PDEng project, e.g. design vs. research. Furthermore, the MT wants

to discuss the SEB&C procedures that need to be followed. Moreover the meeting will be used to get acquainted with

each other. This meeting should be scheduled in month 1 of your project.

4.1.2 Evaluation meeting (month 6)

You are asked to organize an evaluation meeting with all your advisors, the scientific director and the operational

manager of SEB&C. You are asked to give a presentation about your progress and to give a clear overview of your next

steps. The purpose of this meeting is to assess if all advisors are confident that you can finish the project in the

remaining time. If the outcome is negative, the advisors and the scientific director will discuss about appropriate

actions. This meeting should be scheduled in month 6 of your project.

4.1.3 Progress meetings (Q2 and Q4)

There will be two SEB&C progress meetings every year (in April/May and October/November). The purpose of these

meetings is to show your work to the other SEB&C trainees and receive feedback from your peers. You are asked to

prepare a progress presentation of 15 minutes, with a maximum of 15 slides. Your presentation is concluded with 5

minutes for discussion. All trainees and advisors are invited to participate in the progress meetings.

4.1.4 Final evaluation meeting (month 24)

You are asked to organize a final evaluation meeting. During this meeting you will present your work in ca. 25

minutes. Your presentation is concluded with 10 minutes for discussion with the audience. After this discussion the

outcome of the company assignment is evaluated by the project advisors and an external expert. This evaluation

session is chaired by the scientific director of SEB&C. You can find the evaluation criteria in Section 4.3. This meeting

should be scheduled in month 24 of your project.

4.2 Project reports

4.2.1 Project plan

At the start of the project you should write a Project plan together with the university and company advisors. The goal

of this document is to make clear to all parties what is expected of the project. The Project plan should include at least

the follow sections:

‐ Introduction

Introductorymeeting

‐ Problem description

‐ Project scope and objectives

‐ Deliverables

‐ Time planning and milestones

A template for the Project plan can be found on the SEB&C Sharepoint site (see Appendix H). The Project plan should

be signed by the advisors to confirm that all parties agree with the proposed project plan. A signed copy of the Project

plan should be send to the MT. The layout of the document is not defined (font type etc.), so you are free to use a

certain style.

4.2.2 Quarterly progress reports

To have a clear and up to date picture of the progress of your project, we ask you to submit a project progress report

at the end of each quarter of the calendar year, i.e. within the first five working days of April (Q1), July (Q2), October

(Q3) and January (Q4). The project progress report needs to be approved by your advisors (signed). After having the

document signed, please send a signed copy (in pdf) to the MT of SEB&C. On the SEB&C sharepoint you can find a

template for this report (see Appendix H). The template gives short descriptions for each required section in the

report.

4.2.3 Final report

On the SEB&C sharepoint you can find a Final report template (see Appendix H). The layout of the report (font, font

size, etc.) is not defined, but please do not change the title page. Below you find important information which you

should take into account when submitted the report.

SAI report number

A couple of weeks before finishing the report you need to request the Information Expertise Center (IEC) to provide

you with an SAI report number. You should copy the SAI report number in your report. You can request for this

number via the IEC webpage:

https://intranet.tue.nl/en/university/services/information‐expertise‐center/products‐services‐a‐z/isbn‐

application/how‐to‐apply‐for‐an‐isbn/application‐pdeng‐report‐number‐and‐isbn

Deposit agreement

In order to register your report in the university library you need to fill out a Deposit Agreement (see Appendix H).

With this form you can indicate if your report is under embargo (you can indicate the embargo time; this can also be

permanently). The form gives the university the permission to publish the report in open access after the embargo

date (copyright). If your report is under embargo, please mention this on the title page of the report. If you report is

confidential we ask you to provide us with a short general summary of the report. This summary will be used by IEC as

metadata for your report in the university report database.

Code of Scientific Conduct

Please read the TU/e Code of Scientific Conduct when you start with the program (see Appendix H). In order to graduate we need a signed copy of the TU/e Code of Scientific Conduct.

Please send pdfs of the Final report, the Deposit agreement and the Code of Scientific Conduct to the SEB&C

secretariat one week before your final presentation. Without signed copies of these documents you cannot graduate!

4.3 Evaluation criteria

This section describes the evaluation criteria that will be used by the evaluation committee. These evaluation criteria

are adopted from the SAI report ‘New criteria for assessing a technological design’ by Kees van Hee and Kees van

Overveld (2012). Some criteria are adapted to make them more suitable for SEB&C.

The evaluation of the final outcome, the technological design, is separated from the evaluation of the process that has

led to the outcome. The main reason for this separation is that the project is teamwork and that the advisors may

have a substantial influence on the outcome because they are responsible for an acceptable final result. So in theory it

may be that the outcome of the design project is very good but that the contribution of the trainee is poor and it also

may happen that the outcome is not very exciting, but the contribution of the trainee was splendid.

The PDEng programs of SAI fit in the third cycle of the Bologna declaration. This means that the trainees are expected

to deliver a scientific or technological contribution to society. In case of engineering programs it is important to

determine what this ‘contribution’ is. In order to do so, the following definition of ‘engineering’ is cited of the

American Engineering Council of Professional Development (ECPD/ABET): “The creative application of scientific

principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, manufacturing processes or works…”. Meaning the

solution of an engineering problem is an artifact, i.e. a man‐made system that is either a tangible or an intangible

product, or a process. Artifacts as we see them, serve an economical or societal purpose, which means they have a

value. Artifacts we consider are designed according to scientific principles, which means that there should be a

systematic method for synthesizing the design and that a design is evaluated using scientifically based analysis

methods. In the SAI programs the technological design of an artifact is considered as the outcome of the project.

4.3.1 Design aspects and evaluation criteria

Five design aspects are defined that can be used to evaluate a technological design: Functionality, Construction,

Realizability, Impact, Presentation. In total eleven design evaluation criteria are defined grouped per design aspect.

Each criterion is given a 5‐point scale varying from 1 to 5. The idea is that the members of an evaluation team express

their judgment as a value on this scale. When the range of values for one criterion is at least two among the team

members, it is recommend to analyze the different judgments rather than merely averaging the individual members’

scores.

1. Functionality. “What is the artifact doing in its environment?”

a) Satisfaction. This concerns the extent to which the designed artifact satisfies the requirements. Often the

formal requirements develop during the project, based on mere informal initial requirements. In case

the requirements are relatively easy to meet, the evaluation team will be more strict in weighing the

discrepancies than in case the requirements are very difficult. So in a way the judgment of the evaluation

team will evaluate the satisfaction relatively to the difficulty of the problem.

b) Ease of use. This concerns the ease of use for the stakeholders. The stakeholders are e.g.: end users,

operators, engineers responsible for installation and maintenance of the artifact.

c) Reusability. The extent to which the artifact can be used in other situations.

2. Construction. “How will the artifact do this?”

a) Inventivity. The measure for originality. One way to express this is by the surprise factor.

b) Convincingness. This concerns the evidence that the construction will work and has the defined

functionality. Here we distinguish several forms of proof. An empirical proof is a statistical argument

based of either simulations or on experimentation with a prototype.

3. Realizability. “How can the artifact be realized?”

a) Technical realizability. This concerns certainty that it is technically possible to produce the artifact.

b) Economical realizability. This concerns the business case for the artifact. A business case can be scored in

two ways: the analysis is convincing or the outcome such that it is easy to convince stakeholder to invest

in it. The next scale combines the two.

4. Impact. “What are the risks and benefits of the artifact for its environment?”

a) Societal impact. This concerns the influence the artifact will have on societal values such as sustainability

or health and well‐being.


10

b) Risks. This either may concern the risks of the artifact during development of the artifact or the risks

related to the use of the artifact. The analyses of the risks as well as the measures for mitigation are

important.

5. Presentation. “What does the artifact look like in all its details?”

The presentation includes the documentation of the artifact, but it may also concern a prototype or an

animation.

a) Completeness.

b) Correctness.

4.3.2 Design process aspects and evaluation criteria

Four design process aspects are defined that can be used to evaluate the design process of a technological design:

1. Organization and planning.

Includes: project planning, time management, organizing meetings, reaching milestones

2. Problem analysis and solution.

Includes: problem statement, analysis of the context, conducting a literature study, showing creative thinking

in searching for a solution.

3. Communication and social skills. Includes: communication with stakeholders, knowledge mobilization, working in teams, giving presentations,

keeping a logbook, preparing agenda’s for meetings and writing minutes, formulating meeting goals and

summarizing the results of the meeting, looking for and using expert knowledge.

4. Structure and attitude. Includes: giving stakeholders feedback and receiving feedback from stakeholders, self‐reflection using a strengths and weaknesses analysis, having a constructive, systematic, creative and critical attitude.

4.3.3 Final score

The final score is the average value of the total scores for the design and the process. The evaluation sheets in Rubrics

form can be found in Appendix F.


11

5. Evaluation of workshops and design projects Throughout the first year of the PDEng program, you will work on a number of technical workshops and two design

projects. The evaluation procedure of the workshops and design projects is described below.

5.1 Workshops

Each workshop will have its own grading/evaluation procedure which is described for each workshop in Appendix C.

The evaluation criteria for each workshop are described in the same appendix under the heading Learning goals.

The evaluation procedure will follow these steps:

1. Work is submitted by trainees.

2. The responsible lecturer provides the trainees with the assessment of the work within two weeks. Should the

work require any improvement, trainees are given a week to do so, after which the lecturer makes the final

assessment.

3. The responsible lecturer assembles the list with final results and submits it to the SEB&C secretary’s office to

be recorded in the grades registration system. All grades registered at this point are final.

N.B.: Workshop assignments are to be completed according to the schedule set by the responsible lecturer.

5.2 Design projects

The group design projects runs throughout one semester. The deliverables for the design project consist of a final

presentation, a project poster and a project report summing up the design challenge, the design process and the final

design. The design projects are evaluated based on three aspects: Process, Product and Presentation. Each aspect is

scored separately on a 10‐point scale, the final grade is the average of the three aspects.


13

6. Visiting conferences and events SEB&C encourages you to actively participate in a conference or event relevant to SEB&C. Each trainee has a

conference budget of 500 euros per year (additional funding should come from your research chair). If you want to

make use of the conference budget, you should do the following:

Before registering to a conference/event, you send a request to the MT (by email). In this request you

describe which conference/event you want to visit and what you expect to learn at the conference/event

(your learning objectives). Furthermore, you describe how these learning objectives are related to your

SEB&C work. The MT decides whether the learning objectives are valid and if you are granted funding from

the conference budget.

After the conference/event you write a short essay (2‐3 pages) in which you reflect on the earlier defined

learning objectives. What did your learn? Did the conference/event meet your expectations? Was it helpful

for your project? Did you meet people with interesting ideas? You send this essay to the MT within two

weeks after the conference/event.

After the conference/event you are invited to present your findings to the other SEB&C trainees.

Furthermore, you are requested to post a blog on LinkedIn and link it to the SEB&C group.

In Appendix G ‘Practical information’ you find information about requesting a travel permit (RV form) and

reimbursement of travel costs. Note that a travel permit is needed for every trip outside of the Netherlands!


15

7. Meetings and company visits This section describes the most frequent meetings and events that are part of the program.

7.1 Brown bag meeting

The Brown bag meeting is an informal meeting with trainees and the MT. Everyone can discuss issues related to the

program, e.g. sharing you experience of a conference/event, give feedback on workshops, etc. There is no official

agenda, all input is welcome. As this meeting is held during lunchtime, it is called the ‘Brown bag’ meeting. Everybody

brings his own lunch.

Frequency: every three months.

7.2 Lunch Lecture

Trainees are requested to organize lunch lectures by invited speaker related to SEB&C topics. These lectures are open

to all public. The trainees are responsible for these lectures. The lectures are planned during lunch time, therefore

soup is arranged for all participants. Duration including questions is one hour.

Frequency: approx. once per month

7.3 Company visits

Trainees are asked to organize company visits at their companies. The purpose of the company visits is to create more

added value for the participating companies/organizations in SEB&C. As a second year trainee you are responsible for

organizing and leading this event for your company. It is not mandatory to be present at all the visits of your fellow

colleagues, yet it is a great opportunity to get in touch with different industries and organizations. For the first year

trainees it is mandatory to participate in your company visit.

You are asked to organize a visit that takes at least half a day, but can be longer depending on what you organize.

Organize the following:

1. Presentation/tour by your company: max. 1 hour.

2. Co‐creative workshop: about 3 hours. The topic for the workshop can be related to your assignment, but it

can also be a ‘hot issue’ that your company is facing and is in need for creative integral solutions.

Send the set‐up of the visit and workshop to the MT and your fellow trainees two weeks prior to the visit.


17

8. External communication LinkedIn is a possibility to make yourself visible. If you use it actively, it will work for you. It is important to have an

updated LinkedIn profile, so it can be used to find traineeships/show it to interested companies. Make sure you add a

nice picture. It does not have to be very formal, but it is a chance to show who you are.

Please use the following headline for your position at the TU/e: ‘PDEng trainee Smart Energy Buildings and Cities at

the Eindhoven University of Technology’.

If you want to be found on LinkedIn, you can use the following tips:

Use the same word seven times in your profile.

9. Quality assurance 9.1 CCTO

The program received a preliminary accreditation by the CCTO (Certificatie Commissie voor Opleidingen tot

Technologisch Ontwerper). The members of the CCTO belong to the three Dutch Universities of Technology, the

council for industry RCO (de Raad van Centrale Ondernemingsorganisaties), and KIVI (Dutch association for

professional engineers).

9.2 Workshop evaluations

In order to assess the quality of the SEB&C program and to be able to improve the program, all workshops are

evaluated by the trainees. The following procedure is followed for quality assurance of the workshops:

‐ In the month after each workshop is finished Bureau Kwaliteitszorg of the Built Department sends a

questionnaire to the trainees (via Pollweb; the questionnaire can be found below).

‐ The (anonymous) results of this questionnaire are collected by the MT and communicated to the responsible

teachers.

‐ Each teacher is asked to evaluate the results and to provide suggestions to improve the workshop for the

next year.

‐ If the questionnaire shows severe problems with the workshop, then the results are discussed in a meeting

with the scientific director of SEB&C, the core lecturer from the responsible department (member of the

educational board), and the responsible teacher. This meeting should result in steps to improve quality of the

workshop.

9 and 12.

Contents

Learning objectives: The following main objectives can be distinguished:

1.To develop an understanding of the legal systematic place company law holds in the overall

legal system and where relevant including the EU approach.

2.To develop an understanding of the key role played by the law in (innovative) firms.

3.To apply the ideas and theories developed in the law with regard to different legal forms of

the firm.

4.To critically evaluate the diverse opportunities and possibilities of the law relating to duties

stemming from form, contracts and tax duties.


E.4

Contents: In a business environment, there are roughly speaking two forms of making money either by

exploiting intellectual property rights or by building up value in a firm. It is therefore of utmost

importance that our students learn and know about these two earners. Intellectual Property

Rights have been taught in the Bachelors phase of the Minor Entrepreneurship and could

therefore be considered as a subject of which students have/need prior knowledge. Here prior

knowledge needs to be understood in a different manner, it is essential prior knowledge when

wanting to become an entrepreneur. The legal knowledge taught in the IPR course contains no

legal subjects and explanations necessary for participating in this course.

Business Law as understood in this course deals with the essential (fiscal and legal) subjects that

together form a firm, i.e. Selection of Business Organisational Form, Types of Corporations;

Formation, Corporate Purpose, Distribution of Powers; Management of Business Affairs

concluding different types of contracts, Commercial Register; Public Filings, and Taxation issues.

Understanding the systematic place of Corporate law in the overall legal system is also

important, this issue however will be addressed in an indirect way by continuously explaining

and placing the subject at hand in the legal system.

The course will give students a basic understanding of the role played by the legal form/entity of a firm.

The module will consider the different legal and tax duties and obligations that play a role in (start‐up) firms.

The contractual forms available to (start‐up) firms.

Fiscal and ethical Reporting obligations for (start‐up) firms.

7SB24 Entrepreneurial ideas and new business for energy, mobility and smart cities

General information

ECTS credits: 4,0


Lecturers: dr.ir. J.C.C.M. Huijben (responsible lecturer), dr.ir. M.H. van Marion


Type of education: Workshop, individual assignment

Type of examination: Business plan and pitch

Course material: Reader consisting of a selection of book chapters and scientific articles. Course materials will be

made available one month before the start of the course.

Contents

Learning objectives: After successful completion of this course you can design a business plan for a sustainable

innovative technology in which you can incorporate the following elements:

‐ Identification of market opportunities

‐ Business model and ecosystem design

‐ Marketing for new companies

‐ Financial statements

‐ Team building and management of new companies

‐ Protection of your idea and dealing with governmental regulations

‐ Continuation, up‐scaling and exit strategies for new ventures

Next to that you will learn entrepreneurial skills such as giving a pitch and creativity skills.

Contents: Present day energy and mobility systems are under high pressure for change due to issues like

resource depletion and air pollution. How can we link to these changing markets and create new

business that will transform these systems and create the smart cities of tomorrow?

It all starts with innovative technologies, however they are useless unless they become enacted

in the market, ideally leading to new business creation. Thus, next to an innovative technology it

is essential to have an entrepreneurial mindset. However, engineers are usually not trained for

this. After completion of this course you will obtain the necessary basic knowledge, tools and

skills for commercializing new transformative technologies as part of a large organization or on

the basis of your own company.

Contents: Cities around the world face numerous challenges. In particular, urban energy and mobility

systems are under pressure due to the increasing resource depletion and climate change. Their

transformation requires not only innovative technologies, but also a radical change of the entire

system in which these technologies are embedded including regulations, culture, practices and

routines. However, a key question is how to transform the current unsustainable energy and

mobility practices in the city of today and create smart cities of tomorrow?

Solving the question requires specific competencies that are usually not part of the classical

engineering education. After completion of this course you will obtain the necessary tools and

skills for making your own sustainable energy efforts and projects more effectively contribute to

the systemic transformation of the urban energy and mobility system.

7SB82 Multi Agent Systems

General information

ECTS credits: 2,0

Provided by: Department of Mathematics & Computer Science

Lecturers: dr.ir. I. Barosan (responsible lecturer)





Contents

Learning objectives: Upon completing this module, a student will:

understand the notion of an agent, how agents are distinct from other software paradigms (e.g., objects), and understand the characteristics of applications that lend themselves to an agent‐oriented solution.

understand the key issues associated with constructing agents capable of intelligent autonomous action, and the main approaches taken to developing such agents.

understand the key issues and approaches to high‐level communication in multi‐agent systems.

understand the key issues in designing societies of agents that can effectively cooperate in order to solve problems.

understand the main application areas of agent‐based solutions.

understand the main techniques for automated decision‐making in multi‐agent systems, including techniques for voting, forming coalitions, allocating scarce resources, and bargaining.

understand how the agent technology can be used in a context of an Intelligent Building concept.

understand how a real application can be analyzed, designed and implemented using a frame work (JADE) and a design methodology (AUML).


E.18

Contents: Multi‐agent systems have emerged as one of the most important areas of research and

development in information technology. A multi‐agent system is one composed of multiple

interacting software components known as agents, which are typically capable of cooperating

to solve problems that are beyond the abilities of any individual member. Multi‐agent systems

are important primarily because they have been found to have very wide applicability, in areas

as diverse as industrial process control, electronic commerce and for energy and comfort

management for buildings. This module will begin by introducing the student to the notion of

an agent, and will lead them to an understanding of what an agent is, how they can be

constructed, how agents can be made to cooperate effectively with one‐another to solve

problems, and approaches to decision making in multi‐agent contexts. Also, the course will

focus on how the multi‐agent systems can be used in intelligent buildings, exploiting the great

potential existing by tailoring the control system to reduce the building energy consumption.

Control of buildings systems

7SB83 Integral System Analysis & Control

General information

ECTS credits: 2,0


Lecturers: prof. dr. S. Weiland (responsible lecturer)



Type of examination: Practical assignment to be carried out in teams


Contents

Learning objectives: Gain understanding of a number of concepts, methods and design tools from systems analysis

and control.

Contents: This is an introductory workshop on the use of dynamical modelling in the area of system

analysis and control. We cover model properties such as linearity, time‐invariance and discuss

various representations of linear time‐invariant dynamical systems. Relevant examples are given

from the area of the Built Environment. In addition, model properties such as stability,

controllability, bandwidth, poles, zeros, resonance frequencies are introduced, together with

analytical tools to verify these properties. Implementation of models in MATLAB are practiced. A

number of elementary control schemes are discussed including P, PI and PID control. The use of

feedback control as the key design tool that allows changing the behaviour of a system to a

desired one is advocated and demonstrated in a practical assignment.

Prior knowledge: Basics on calculus and algebra. Other than that no prior knowledge in systems

and control is required.
