Undergraduate Laboratories in Control Systems

本课题的主要目标是建立一个新颖、独特的本科控制系统实验室。本实验室提供控制系统设计各个步骤的实践经验，帮助学生可视化控制系统课程中涵盖的抽象概念，向学生介绍设计的实际方面，并提供综合讲座中发展的理论材料的途径。这个项目是建立一个计算机控制的控制系统设计实验室，以支持本科课程和设计工作。该实验室包括四个新颖的设计实验，专门设计来激发学生，并展示控制系统设计和开发中的实际和分析问题。该项目使用这种“动手”集成能力来提供完整的设计和分析经验。这包括模型开发和验证、模型仿真、控制设计、系统实现和性能目标的验证。可以包括对原始设计的修改，并可以对参数进行微调。学生面临的设计和分析活动类似于工业工程师所面临的活动。

The principal goal of this project is to develop a novel and unique undergraduate laboratory in control system. The laboratory provides hands-on experience in the various steps of control systems design, aids students in visualizing the abstract concepts covered in a control system course, introduces students to the practical aspects of design, and provides an avenue to synthesize theoretical materials developed in a lecture. This project is setting up a computer-controlled control system design laboratory to support undergraduate courses and design efforts. The laboratory includes four novel design experiments, specifically designed to stimulate the students and to demonstrate the practical and analytical issues in control system design and development. The project is using this "hands-on" integrated capability to provide a complete design and analysis experience. This includes model development and verification, model simulation, control design, system implementation, and verification of performance objectives. Modifications to original designs can be included and parameters can be fine tuned. Students are confronted with design and analysis activities similar to those faced by engineers in industry.
