Aims

The goal is to introduce students to basic simulation methods and tools for modelling and simulation of continuous, discrete and combined systems.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Within this course, attadance on the lectures is not monitored. The knowledge of students is examined by the projects and by the final exam. The minimal number of points which can be obtained from the final exam is 30. Otherwise, no points will be assigned to a student.

Recommended optional programme components
