Recommended Prerequisites

Control Systems; Digital Control

Teaching Methods

Theoretical classes of magisterial type with detailed presentation, using audiovisual means, of the concepts, principles, theories, and methodologies, and with the presentation of illustrative and application examples.

Practical laboratory classes, supervised by a professor: in these classes, some time is dedicated to the presentation of topics relevant to the laboratory works; And the rest of the time is dedicated to the development of laboratory works which require the application and combination of different concepts.

Learning Outcomes

Acquire the competencies required to have knowledge and apply the fundamental concepts concerning fuzzy systems and neural networks, as well as analyze, understand and design fuzzy control systems, and systems based on neural networks. Acquire competencies required to have knowledge and apply fundamental concepts concerning to computational learning.

Acquiring competencies in analysis and synthesis, critical reasoning, problem solving, autonomous learning, practical application of theoretical knowledge, adaptivity to new situations.
