Systems Dynamics and Control, Proposed Course Overview and Education Oriented Approach for Mechatronics Engineering Curricula

摘要

Mechatronics engineer is expected to design engineering systems with synergy and integration toward constrains like higher performance, speed, precision, efficiency, lo wer costs and functionality. To meet such integrated abilities and knowledge requirements, it is desired that Mechatronics engineering curricula, to include a proper integrated courses' description, with specific topics, lab sessions, student projects and methods of integrated abilities and knowledge delivery. This paper proposes, a proper for Mechatronics education, Systems Dynamics and Control course detailed description, topics with specific learning objectives, prerequisites, administration, simple but effective teaching approach supported by simple and easy to memorize education oriented steps and tables, that integrate course outcomes, to solve control problems, all intended to support educators in teaching process, help students in concepts understanding, maximum knowledge and skills transfer / gaining in solving controller/algorithm selection and design problems as a stage of Mechatronics system design stages, to equip students with the key abilities and knowledge, required for further courses in Mechatronics curricula.
