Teaching methods
Teaching is organized in the form of:
- 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.
