Abstract

Teaching modeling and control of dynamic systems is challenging because the topic requires significant mathematics and can be somewhat abstract.  in this session, Professor Richard Hill demonstrates how to use the MATLAB Live Editor to help your instruction come alive. The use of the Live Editor allows you to create live scripts that combine code, formatted text, and graphics to generate clear professional materials.  By embedding live controls such a s numeric sliders, buttons, and drop-down lists, you can create lectures that illustrate complex topics through interactive homework assignments that help students build intuition for course material and construct meaning for themselves.  Pedagogical research clearly demonstrates the benefits of inquiry-based, active learning.  Specific examples will be demonstrated showing how to use live scripts to illustrate the mathematics of control, as well as to teach the graphical tools central to controller design such as the Bode diagram and root locus.  further cases will be presented demonstrating how interactive live controls can teach students the iterative nature of controller design and tuning.  The examples shared in this session align with the popular web0based Control Tutorials for MATLAB and Simulink (ctms.engin.umich.edu.)
