Abstract

In recent years the educationally focused parts of the global control community have given some focus to what constitutes a sensible first course in control (Rossiter et al., 2020) and how to support this with high quality learning and teaching resources. This paper contributes to that overall effort in that it provides an example of high quality, open-access resources to support students in their independent learning. One aspect of the ideal first course in control is the suggestion that we (the community) focus more on concepts and understanding and less on tedious paper and pen calculations; to do this the community needs suitable easy to use software for performing computations and producing illustrations. Hence the author is leading what he hopes will be a collaborative community project on creating a MATLAB toolbox to provide such software. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the toolbox, present its current contents and thus enable staff to evaluate and adopt this toolbox and moreover, to reflect on how it might be improved.

用于 Control101 课程的新型 MATLAB 工具箱

近年来，全球控制界以教育为重点的部分已经开始关注什么是合理的第一门控制课程（Rossiter 等人，2020 年），以及如何用高质量的学习和教学资源来支持这门课程。本文为这一总体努力做出了贡献，提供了一个高质量、开放式资源的范例，以支持学生的自主学习。理想的第一门控制课程的一个方面是建议我们（社区）更多地关注概念和理解，而不是乏味的纸笔计算；为此，社区需要合适的、易于使用的软件来执行计算和制作插图。因此，作者正在领导一个社区合作项目，希望通过创建 MATLAB 工具箱来提供此类软件。本文旨在重点介绍该工具箱，介绍其现有内容，从而使工作人员能够评估和采用该工具箱，并思考如何对其进行改进。

期刊介绍： The European Control Association (EUCA) has among its objectives to promote the development of the discipline. Apart from the European Control Conferences, the European Journal of Control is the Association''s main channel for the dissemination of important contributions in the field. The aim of the Journal is to publish high quality papers on the theory and practice of control and systems engineering. The scope of the Journal will be wide and cover all aspects of the discipline including methodologies, techniques and applications. Research in control and systems engineering is necessary to develop new concepts and tools which enhance our understanding and improve our ability to design and implement high performance control systems. Submitted papers should stress the practical motivations and relevance of their results. The design and implementation of a successful control system requires the use of a range of techniques: Modelling Robustness Analysis Identification Optimization Control Law Design Numerical analysis Fault Detection, and so on.
