    *Note - This is an Archived course*

    This is a past/archived course. At this time, you can only explore this course in a self-paced fashion. Certain features of this course may not be active, but many people enjoy watching the videos and working with the materials. Make sure to check for reruns of this course.


    This multidisciplinary course will give students an overview of energy technologies, fuels, environmental impacts and public policies. Topics will be interdisciplinary and will include an introduction to quantitative concepts in energy, including the differences among fuels and energy technologies, energy policy levers, and the societal aspects of energy, such as culture, economics, war, and international affairs. This course will cover brief snippets of energy history, use real-world examples, and look forward into the future. The course will have interactive learning modules and lecture-oriented around current events related to energy.

  • La simulación por eventos discretos es una técnica informática de modelado dinámico de sistemas. Frente a su homóloga, la simulación de tiempo continuo, esta se caracteriza por un control en la variable del tiempo que permite avanzar a éste a intervalos variables, en función de la planificación de ocurrencia de tales eventos a un tiempo futuro. Un requisito para aplicar esta técnica es que las variables que definen el sistema no cambien su comportamiento durante el intervalo simulado.

    About this course

    Course Summary

    Modelling and simulation make a particular part of the world easier to define, visualize and understand. Both require the identification of relevant aspects of a situation in the real world and then the use of different types of models for different objectives and the definition of the most suitable model parameters.

    This course teaches you to simulate models for a wide range of applications using MATLAB – a high-level programming language and an environment for numerical computation and visualization.

    What will I learn?

    • Students are acquainted with the concepts of modelling and simulation from an interdisciplinary point of view.
    • Students are able to implement and simulate models using MATLAB/Simulink.
    • Depending on the selected applications in part B of the course students acquire further knowledge of control engineering, image processing, machine learning, business case modelling, knowledge management and simulation of a water treatment plant
    • Enthusiastic students with only rudimentary programming knowledge acquire an understanding of the basic MATLAB programming

    What do I have to know?

    Mathematics and Physics knowledge of secondary level education and programming knowledge are recommended.

    MATLAB is commercial software. As a result of support from MathWorks, students will be granted a downloadable license to MATLAB and Simulink for the duration of the course.

    Workload

    Approx. 8 hours per week.

    The final chapter will be uploaded on July 8th. The course ends on August 1st.

    Do I get a certificate?

    Students participating in this course can earn the official Statement of Participation.

    Requirements for receiving the Statement of Participation are to watch 60% of the lecture videos as well as complete 60% of the quizzes.
