This paper presents some personal reflections on how information technology is moving
towards effective and efficient application in control education. The time has arrived for …

The scenario for control education is changing and we must adapt to the new situation.
Information technology opens a whole new world of real opportunities. Computers show a …

Looking back 30 years ago, the advances in teaching have accompanied the technology
evolution. As soon as the technology progressed, new teaching tools began to appear. This …

The frequency domain is one of the most popular and powerful frameworks for designing
control systems. Usually, the controller is designed by working on the openloop transfer …

A control system can be designed either by applying a mathematical design method (the
system theory approach) or by using a controller design tool (the CAD-approach). Graphical …

This paper describes the make-up of interactive computer simulations that implement virtual
laboratories in the field of Control Engineering education. We introduce Easy Java …

This paper presents an interactive tool for dead-time compensator design. The tool is based
on an unified dead-time compensator and considers models commonly used in industrial …

The problem of controlling delayed systems has been widely studied in the control
community. The Smith predictor (SP) scheme was the most famous and efficient technique to …

This paper deals with the use of interactive computer simulation and animation
environments in a virtual lab which illustrates real-world applications of fundamental control …

The classical loop shaping is a design procedure that explicitly involves the shaping of the
open loop transfer function L (s), within a desired frequency spectrum by manipulating the …
