Abstract: Experiential Learning is a modern radical approach of conducting education.\nKolb’s four stages experiential learning model have been well received since it was\nproposed during mid 1980’s. In this paper, we approach the analysis of Kolb’s Cycle\nfrom an engineering point of view, where we develop a mathematical model of the\nlearning curve when Kolb’s experiential learning cycle is use. Furthermore, we analyse\nthe characteristics of the derived model for example, learning stability and learning\nrobustness. We conclude with set of important characteristics of Kolb’s cycle that we\ncould clearly explore after utilizing the control engineering tools. The most important\ncharacters are accommodating the uncertainties of the students learning ability. This\npaper is one of the few trials traced in the pedagogical literature where control\nengineering methods are applied for studying pedagogical process.
