Systems and Control for Biomedical Engineering Students

Developments of skills in Systems and Control by Biomedical Engineering Students, a challenging task for instructors, is discussed. The syllabus and its organization in the University of Coimbra are described. From PID and fuzzy to optimal control, space has been created inside several courses mixed with other subjects of biomedical engineering. The approach is based on a “learning-by-doing” perspective. The syllabus and the practical exercises are presented and commented. The practical exercises cover most of the topics. ©IFAC 2012.
