Control System Engineering through MATLAB-A Case Study on Project based Learning

Abstract

Now a day, teacher centric approach in engineering education is gradually replaced with the new student centric pedagogy through active learning technique. This paper presents an effective and wide spread active learning process i.e. Project Based Learning (PBL) for control system engineering subject of electrical and electronics engineering discipline through MATLAB. Presently it is very difficult to attract the student’s attention towards the core theory subject. Here through Project Based Learning with MATLAB implementation we want to enhance the students’ performance overall. In this learning methodology, students are able to learn by implementing and interacting with each other. The objective of this paper is to enable the students for team work, problem solving ability, and leadership quality. Finally the student’s outcome of this project based learning is implemented through student’s feedback and internal assessment through presentation and mid examination.
