Curriculum in Control and Dynamical Systems

这20万美元的奖金用于控制系统的课程开发。传统的本科控制理论入门课程并没有捕捉到最近的研究进展，而且仍然倾向于没有一个连贯的主题的技巧集合。此外，控制理论已经变得非常跨学科，现在在传统的工程学科中没有自然的归宿。然而，由于现代计算机和通信技术的进步使控制设计在工程设备和过程中发挥着越来越重要的作用，因此向本科生介绍现代控制理论和技术是非常重要的。这项建议将为两门高级控制课程编制模块化课程，包括理论和实验。两个可以远程运行的实验将为课程开发，在建筑物中的控制和对管道风扇发动机的控制。

9315537 Morari This award of $200,000 is for curriculum development in control systems. Traditional introductory undergraduate courses in control theory do not capture the recent developments in research and still tend to be a collection of tricks without a coherent theme. Moreover, control theory has become very interdisciplinary and now has no natural home within the traditional engineering disciplines. Yet because of the increasingly important role that the design of control into engineered devices and processes that modern advances in computers and communications is making possible, it is now very important to introduce modern control theory and techniques to undergraduates. This proposal will develop modular curricula for two control courses at the senior level, involving both theory and experimentation. Two experiments that can be run remotely will be developed for the courses, control in buildings and control of a ducted fan engine.
