Introduction to Cyber-Physical Systems.

Catalog description

Semester course; 3 lecture hours. 3 credits. Prerequisites: EGRE 365 and EGRE 337 or equivalents, or permission of instructor. Students should have prior experience working with MATLAB and Simulink as well as familiarity with high-level programming and mathematical maturity in differential equations, matrix operations, calculus and probability theory. This course covers principles and foundations of modeling, design and analysis of cyber-physical systems. This course focuses on the top-level system design and in particular on the interplay between software components and physical dynamics. The primary emphasis of this course is to teach students how to build high confidence systems using model-based design paradigms. The course will also introduce various control techniques commonly used for managing and regulating cyber-physical systems. The course is accompanied by a project to give hands-on experience on the covered material. Students will be required to propose group-based projects.
