3152 Control Theory - 1<br />

<strong>ECTS</strong> credits: 7<br />

Weekly classes: 3lec + 0sem + 0labs + 2ps + 2cw<br />

Assessment: exam<br />

Type of exam: written<br />

Departments involved: Department of Automatics and Mechatronics<br />

Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Automation<br />

Lecturer:<br />

tel.: 082 888 745, E-mail: glehov@uni-ruse.bg<br />

Abstract:<br />

The course aims are to give knowledge and practical skills for modelling, analysis and synthesis of linear<br />

continuous-time control systems. Prerequisites to this course are Mathematics I, II, III courses. Control<br />

Theory I is a basis for a number of courses of the bachelor degree.<br />

Course content:<br />

Control systems: basic concept and definitions, classifications. Mathematical models of linear continuoustime<br />

control systems: differential equations, transfer functions, block diagrams. Time-domain and frequencydomain<br />

characteristics. Stability analysis. Dynamic performance analysis. Steady-state errors. Control<br />

systems design methods. State-space description of linear continuous-time control systems. State-space<br />

design of control systems.<br />

Teaching and assessment:<br />

The lectures present the theoretic aspects of the addressed problems and illustrate them with appropriate<br />

examples. The aim of the practical exercises and the course work is to teach the students to apply creatively<br />

the acquired knowledge. They are conducted with the aid of MATLAB/SIMULINK software system. The<br />

students’ progress is checked in each exercise throughout the semester. A different topic for the course<br />

work is assigned to each student. The course ends with a written exam which consists of problem solving<br />

and question answering. In order to be allowed to take the exam the students have to attend all the<br />

exercises as well as to write a course work. The practical work mark and the course work mark are both<br />

taken into consideration when forming the final course mark.<br />

Abstract:<br />

Economics is a fundamental economic discipline that examines the general principles and problems of<br />

contemporary market economy at micro- and macro level. It gives knowledge of the economic system<br />

functioning, and it is instrumental for the formation of economic expertise. Thus, the discipline provides<br />

students with skills for correct orientation and independent choice in the market environment. These<br />

characteristics make the discipline a necessary component of every economic degree course that claims to<br />

have academic disposition.<br />

Course content:<br />

The Essence of Economics. Measuring Economic Activity: Incomes and Products Circulation. Goods and<br />

Services Production. Market and Market Mechanism. Demand and Supply Elasticity. Costs and Revenues<br />

of the Company. Competition and Market Behavior. Pricing and Income of Production Factors. Government<br />

Intervention in the Economy. Market Economy, Money Supply and Banking system. Macroeconomic and<br />

Microeconomic Theory. Economy Management (Fiscal and Monetary Policy). Government Policy and<br />

International Exchange. Rates of Exchange and Their Mechanism.<br />

Teaching and assessment:<br />

The tuition in Economics is accomplished by lectures, seminars and controlled extracurricular work. The<br />

lectures present the logic of the discipline principles and illustrate it by appropriate examples from the<br />

economic reality in Bulgaria. The seminars are based on the lectures and synchronized with their contents.<br />

There are two tests on microeconomics and macroeconomics administered during the seminars. The active<br />

form of the tuition in Economics is an essay whose topic is submitted in the first week of the course during<br />

the seminars. The term is validated for students that have taken the two tests and have delivered a selfelaborated<br />

essay. The final assessment of the student is formed by the results of the two tests and the<br />

essay. Students that have poor marks on the two tests and/ or the essay have to take a written<br />

supplementary exam.<br />
