Enroling for the first presentation of System Identification

17 setembro 2025, 00:46 • Duarte Pedro Mata de Oliveira Valério

On Wednesday, September 17, at 09h00, enrolment for the first presentation of System Identification begins. This presentation corresponds to questions 6 to 18 of the Laboratory Guide, as indicated in section Materials for classes.

Both students working together in the laboratory should enrol, using Fenix, in one of two groups (and should enrol in the same time slot of the same group, of course).

  • There are 7 slots to present on Monday, September 29. The corresponding group is called "Presentation 1, Monday".
  • There are 12 slots to present on Tuesday, September 30. The corresponding group is called "Presentation 1, Tuesday".

In each day, students will present their work in class according to the numerical order of the slot they chose. Nobody has to attend to the presentations of the other pairs of students, but you are most welcome to do so, and will very likely benefit both from what colleagues will say and from professors' questions and comments.

This enrolment only applies to the first presentation; consequently, you may later on change the weekday in which you will present your work in the following presentations, should that be convenient for you.

Once you enrol, either member of the pair of students will have access to the project in which your work is to be submitted:

  • there is a project called "Presentation 1 delivery, Monday", available for students enrolled in group "Presentation 1, Monday";
  • there is another project called "Presentation 1 delivery, Tuesday (DELIVERY DEADLINE ON MONDAY)", available for students enrolled in group "Presentation 1, Tuesday".

The name of this second project is a reminder that the deadline to submit your work is the same for everyone, viz. Monday, 18h00.

Please remember the rules for presentations which were made available in this Announcement:

Presentations address the questions listed in the Laboratory Guide. Each group must submit a zip or rar file by Monday, 18h00, containing:

  • the file used as support of the presentation (e.g. PowerPoint or PDF),
  • the data files collected in the laboratory,
  • the Matlab code used to obtain the results.

Groups that fail to submit the file in time may still present their work, with a -50% penalty on the grade.

Some groups will present their work on Monday, some on Tuesday; Fenix will be used to enrol each group in one of these days (...).

Each group has 5 minutes to present the work; it is imperative that this time will not be exceeded. The faculty will project the file submitted on Monday. Both group members must attend. Questions will be asked. Students must be ready to show, using Matlab, the experimental data collected, and that the code used to obtain results does indeed run. Presentations in English are welcome, but there is no penalty in the grade if the presentation is in Portuguese.
