The course ‘Digital Twin Modelling and Integration for Multidisciplinary Research’ provides students with a solid theoretical and practical basis for understanding and applying the Digital Twin concept in multidisciplinary research, an applied research ecosystem in which the Politecnico di Torino is investing through various policies, including the establishment of interdepartmental centres. During the course, participants will have the opportunity to explore innovative approaches to modelling systems from different disciplines, using systems engineering as a decomposition approach for the complex systems they will encounter in their academic and working careers. Different types of modelling a system will be presented, such as event-based and time-step modelling, along with hybrid modelling approaches. Students will learn the specific characteristics and applications of each approach applied to various disciplinary contexts. Having obtained the basics and fundamentals for modelling a Digital Twin, co-simulation techniques, fundamental technologies for the design and development of Digital Twins of complex, multidisciplinary systems, will be introduced. Methods of communication and synchronisation between models for managing data and information exchange during co-simulation will be explored. Participants will also gain skills in connecting and combining models for co-simulation, as well as in managing interactions between models. The importance of control strategies in co-simulation will be deepened in the course, with a focus on the implementation of algorithms and logic to regulate the behaviour of a digital twin in order to test new control strategies for a system through parameter optimisation. Finally, a multidisciplinary research project will be proposed in which students will have the opportunity to apply the skills acquired during the course to their research areas using the Digital Twin as a modelling and integration tool. Participants will be encouraged to work collaboratively with colleagues from different disciplines to tackle complex challenges and achieve concrete results. Through theoretical lectures, practical lab sessions, exercises and research projects, the course aims to enrich participants' theoretical understanding and develop their practical skills in modelling and integrating the Digital Twin for interdisciplinary research. The course adopts an innovative teaching method following the Team-Based Learning approach, where students have the opportunity to directly apply the concepts learned during the course. They will be encouraged to develop multidisciplinary research projects, work in groups, and collaborate with industry experts. At the end of the course, students will present their research projects and will be evaluated based on the acquired skills and achieved results.
