Theoretical activities (3 ECTS credits): The theoretical content of the course will be delivered through lectures supported by prior comprehensive readings on selected topics. These sessions will be complemented by individual tutorials to reinforce learning and address specific questions. Practical activities (3 ECTS credits): Laboratory sessions and computer-based classes will be conducted, where students will apply the acquired knowledge through the development of computational models using MATLAB/Simulink. These practical activities will focus on the analysis and control of electric drives for both DC and AC motors. In addition, group and individual tutorials will be provided to offer personalized academic support.
