Teaching systems engineering: a multidisciplinary project based feedback on a pedagogic experiment: "EasyKawa 2004" Project

This paper reports on a project-based training approach carried out by a student-staff team, focused on the acquisition of basic skills in active systems design. 'Systems' refers to systematics and 'active' is used to signify actuator control. The project focus ranged from the initial choice of the project topic to the first steps of prototype construction
