A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Transfer functions and process dynamics

This topic focuses on how dynamic processes are represented mathematically using transfer functions and how those models explain process behaviour in time. For exams, you must master the meaning of transfer function, the assumptions behind it, and the characteristic responses of common process elements such as first-order, second-order, and dead-time systems.
