. "Multivariable and nonlinear control"@en . . "10.00" . "Your learning on this unit\nAn overview of content\nThe unit consists of two theoretical components (multivariable and nonlinear control) plus a practical one (implementing control of a simple robotic manipulator, via simulation and/or physically).\n\nMultivariable control relies heavily on matrix-based formulations of the system. This approach readily expands to allow control of systems with arbitrarily large numbers of inputs and outputs.\n\nNonlinear control describes typical sources of system nonlinearities and introduces some commonly used techniques for their analysis and control.\n\nThe practical component of the unit will require students to work in small groups, implementing the above concepts and prior pertinent knowledge as appropriate to control the trajectory of a robotic manipulator. Example tasks could be to draw a specified shape, or a pick-and-place activity. This will be carried out in simulation and/or physically. Some knowledge of programming will be assumed. The grade awarded will be determined by factors such as the speed and accuracy with which the tasks are achieved, and the actuator energy consumed.\n\nHow will students, personally, be different as a result of the unit\nStudents will be able to understand and contribute towards the analysis and control of a wider range of systems.\n\nThey will have increased exposure to a mathematically rigorous systems-based way of thinking.\nTheir modelling and practical skills will improve.\n\nLearning Outcomes\nReferring to the Bristol Skills Framework: this unit will increase students’ subject matter expertise and application of knowledge within the scope of the unit. It will also add to their experience of collaborative working.\n\nKnowledge and Comprehension will be improved via the in-person and online lectures; Application, Analysis, Synthesis and Evaluation will be indispensable to the coursework.\n\nMore specifically: Upon successful completion of the unit, students will be able to:\n\nDesign a range of controllers in state-space for linear multivariable dynamical systems.\nDescribe nonlinearities and apply suitable theory to design controllers for nonlinear systems.\nUse programming tools to control and evaluate the performance of a robot’s movement." . .

"The complete integrated master program is a four-year course. The first three years you gain a degree in for BEng degree ( equilivent to Bachelor degree) , and the forth year is the MEng. ( equileivent to master degree). \n\nIn year four, there is greater flexibility for you to pursue options that interest you. Some units relate to particular application areas, such as computational aerodynamics, advanced composite materials, aircraft dynamics, space systems or renewable energy. You can also choose to undertake a research project.\n\nThe diversity of topics in aerospace engineering makes this a challenging degree but the reward is a uniquely broad education."@en . . "1"@en .

"Accreditation by the Royal Aeronautical Society is a mark of assurance that your degree meets the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). An accredited degree is a significant step towards registration as an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered (CEng) Engineer. Some employers target accredited courses when recruiting and an accredited degree is more likely to be recognised outside the UK.\n\nOur Industrial Liaison Office organises company engagement from year one, which continues through all years of the course, making the most of nearby aerospace companies.\n\nMany Aerospace Engineering graduates enter careers in other high-technology sectors, such as Formula 1, wind and marine power generation and defence contracting, while others go into further research.\n\nWhat our students do after graduating"@en .
