Course detail
Computer Science
FSI-1IN-K Acad. year: 2023/2024 Winter semester
The course deals with selected of software modeling tools, which are often used in engineering practice. The variables, commands, data import/export, drawing, procedures and functions are presented and rules of program developing are demonstrated in Matlab language. Matlab capabilities are illustrated with examples of simple models of technical systems and technological processes.

Entry knowledge
The usual secondary school computer literacy is supposed.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The maximum achievable score 100b (ECTS). Partial e-tests (6 tests up to 10 points), final test (max. 40 points). For passing the course it is necessary at least 50 points, including at least 20 points from e-tests and 10 points from the final test. Moreover, none of the sub-examples of the final test will have a score below 2 points. Further, successful completion of the specified
MATLAB Onramp.
The attendance at lectures is recommended while at seminars it is obligatory. Education runs according to week schedules. The form of compensation of missed seminars is fully in the competence of a tutor.
Aims
The aim is to acquire the use of computers to solve problems focused to technical systems and processes modeling.
Students will acquire the basic knowledge of modeling technical systems and technological processes. They will gain experience with solving problems using tools of Matlab/Octave. Students will learn the basics of imperative programming.
