Project-Based Learning to Enhance the Teaching of Control Systems

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper presents a project-based learning approach designed to enhance the teaching of control systems. The project incorporates key foundational concepts, including embedded systems programming, filter design, and control system theory, to control the speed of a direct current (DC) motor. Through hands-on activities, students gain practical experience in applying classroom theories and concepts to real-world situations. The project is suitable for courses focusing on control theory or embedded systems and was introduced as part of a senior-level introductory control systems course. Student feedback indicated that the project’s practical nature significantly improved their understanding and reinforced theoretical knowledge. This paper describes the project and the project’s scope and provides an overview of student feedback.
