Enhancing education in automatic control via interactive learning tools

Abstract

We present interactive learning tools for the education in classical automatic control. The tools are aimed at improving the understanding of and skills for analysis and design of control systems. The tools are implemented in MATLAB and can be used via the Internet. The tools are enhanced by detailed helps and hints and can be used by the students for solving seminar problems and individual learning. They can be implemented as a teaching aid during the lectures in classical automatic control, as well. Both, Japanese and English versions of the tools are developed.
