Laboratory exercises and project

Question and Answer sessions for Exercises

Since the hours for the exercises conflict with other courses for some students, we offer a Q&A session per week where you can come and get help with the exercises. You should first go through the exercise notes on your own and then come to the Q&A session to get help with the parts you find difficult. Notes from the exercises will usually be available before Q&A sessions.

Computer exercises The computer exercises are to be solved using Matlab in groups of two students. Written reports have to be handed in for computer exercises 1 and 3 (see course information page for deadlines). Computer exercises 2 and 4 are reported by filling in a short form (which can be downloaded below). See course information page for deadlines.

A printed version of the computer exercises is sold at STEX. PDF versions of the computer exercises, and associated Matlab-files are found below.

Project The laboratory project considers a multivariable process whose properties can be modified to display a wide range of dynamical properties. The project is performed in groups of 4 students in the control laboratory, A:225, Osquldas väg 10, level 2. Registration for the laboratory is available through the course home page. Those students who have not managed to form a group of four students prior to registration should register for a time and a process that some other group (with less than four students) have registered for. Note that you will need to book the same lab process (e.g., A) on both occasions. A written projects should be handed in to STEX. The report should present the results in a systematic and concise manner.
