Identification and control of a variable-speed drive: an interdisciplinary teaching approach

Abstract

In France, technicians graduate after a two-years study at Technological University Institute with a French acronym IUT. After graduating, some students decide to apply for a job in industry or in service sector, others decide to carry on their studies in a Master or Bachelor Engineering curriculum. The IUT undergraduate studies are divided into four semesters, namely S1, S2, S3 and S4, each one having several modules: some of them are mandatory and others optional. This organisation leads students to choose some modules which fit their personal and professional development plan. The interdisciplinary teaching experience presented in this paper concerns students who wish to continue their studies in the Master or Bachelor of Engineering curriculum. It involves industrial data processing, mathematics, and automatic control.
