Learning outcomes

Provide the students with the ability to handle machines and measurements in order to assess their performance. Simulations analyses will be performed in order to provide insights on the design choices.

Course contents

Modeling of machines and energy systems

Reproduction of machines and energy systems in virtual environment by means of: observation of the real behavior; simplificative hypoteses; equations; discretization; measure probe location; tuning; solution; validation

Handling and representation of data

Error theory

Bases of statistical inference

Euristics and statistics methods

Learning python

Teaching methods

Classroom lectures 

Assessment methods

The course attendance is mandatory

The final evaluation of the student relies on the development of a projectgiven by the professor. A technical presentation of the project is required as well.

Non-attending students will be evaluated by means of the resolution of some numerical exercises as well as an oral presentation.
