Course Description

"System" means a whole set of interacting components. Ecological systems in the natural world consist of interacting living creatures, and network-connected computer systems consist of computers communicating to each other. ‘Systems engineering’ deals with investigation, analysis, planning and operation of various systems. It has become more important as economic developments and advancing technologies have more impact on the natural environment and make artificial systems more complicated and influential.
This course consists of lectures in the classroom with exercises of practical problems, and laboratory work in the computer laboratory (CL). Important contents to be learned in this course are:
1. Introduction to system engineering, modeling principles
2. Mathematical models: static/dynamic, deterministic/stochastic, linear/nonlinear, etc.
3. Graphical models: block diagrams, state transition diagrams
4. Mathematical modeling 1: differential equations, state equations, transfer functions,
5. Mathematical modeling 2: multiple regression, least square method
6. Simulation of differential equations
7. System optimization: linear/nonlinear programming
Students are expected to acquire the knowledge and techniques of DP1.

Course Objectives

- Understanding the concept of system and system engineering
- Understanding the mathematical system modeling and its variations and process
- Understanding the numerical solution of differential equations
- Understanding the regression analysis and least square method
- Understanding the optimization
- Understanding the computer simulation through the hands-on exercises

Grading Policy

- Attendance: more than 2/3 (Requirements to take End-term exam.)
- Homework: 60%
- End-term exam: 40%
Detail solutions of homework will be shown in LMS and be given feedback at lecture.
