Teachware for Control

Personal computers and workstations are introduced into University education at an increasing rate. Classical and modern methods as well as sequencing control form the basis of control education where computers are used for classroom presentations, exercises, laboratory experiments and in projects. Commercially available simulation and computer aided control system design packages may be used in teaching together with real-time software and with special programs developed for specific purposes. This wide spread of possibilities is discussed and illustrated by many examples of leaning and teaching control systems with computers. Small sections are devoted to authoring systems and to the design of man-machine interfaces for teaching programs.
