- Lectures;
- Homework on modelling and control of the various electromechanical converters seen during the lectures.
The homework are performed in groups of 2 or 3 students and lead to a synthesis report, which is evaluated and is involved in the final evaluation of the course.
- the grades obtained for the homework reports done in groups during the semester,
- the grade obtained for an oral exam (closed book) dealing with all the topics of the course.
- Supervised sessions are organized weekly in a computer classroom
- The software used is Matlab/Simulink
