A Unified Approach for Classroom and Laboratory Control Systems Education
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a unified approach for control systems education will be presented. This approach is a friendly software and hardware platform that provides students with the necessary tools for gathering data for system identification, designing controllers, simulating the closed-loop system, and implementing the controller on real-time hardware. The proposed approach has been used in introductory control systems courses and can be easily extended to advanced and research-based courses. Software-based classroom assignments and projects have been presented based on this platform. Moreover, these classroom assignments and projects were smoothly extended to hardware-based labs. The feedback conveyed by students due to the incorporation of this platform into control engineering curricula has been positive. Also, professors have been endorsing the use of this platform as part of teaching control systems engineering.

A Methodology for Unified Assessment of Physical and Geographical Dependencies of Wide Area Measurement Systems in Smart Grids
Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS) enable real time monitoring and control of smart grids by combining digital measurement devices, communication and control systems. As WAMS consist of various infrastructures, they imply complex dependencies among their underlying systems and components of different types, such as cyber, physical and geographical dependencies. Although several works exist in...
متن کاملA numerical approach for variable-order fractional unified chaotic systems with time-delay
This paper proposes a new computational scheme for approximating variable-order fractional integral operators by means of finite element scheme. This strategy is extended to approximate the solution of a class of variable-order fractional nonlinear systems with time-delay. Numerical simulations are analyzed in the perspective of the mean absolute error and experimental convergence order. To ill...
متن کاملI-19: The Future of Medical Education: from The Classroom to i-tunes
Medical training has been lately the subject of intense scrutiny. The knowledge transfer approach has shifted focus on the trainee as an active participant in the education process. The traditional view that learning stems from the transmission of knowledge, has recently been challenged. Although controversial, some suggest that a student can maximize this learning process when educators tailor...
متن کاملA rule-based evaluation of ladder logic diagram and timed petri nets for programmable logic controllers
This paper describes an evaluation through a case study by measuring a rule-based approach, which proposed for ladder logic diagrams and Petri nets. In the beginning, programmable logic controllers were widely designed by ladder logic diagrams. When complexity and functionality of manufacturing systems increases, developing their software is becoming more difficult. Thus, Petri nets as a high l...

To explore the effectiveness of using flipped classroom approach, a group of 40 male 10th graders in the city of Babol, selected randomly through cluster sampling, was assigned to two classes one of which was taught using the said approach while in the other the traditional method was implemented. Both groups were pre- and post-tested on computer self-efficacy and classroom perception and then ...
