Postgraduate Education on Fault Diagnosis and Control Reconfiguration in Aerospace

Abstract

The computer-aided teaching process has increased the interaction between students and professors thus improving the learning process. The goal of courses for graduate students is to teach both a higher level of theoretical and methodological matters and how to design systems. This goal needs a project-based education that is an education performed while implementing a project. In the present paper, our project-based education deals with the implementation of an AFTCS (Active Fault Tolerant Control System) for a UAS (Unmanned Aerial System). The activity to be dealt with is twofold: one is of a methodological type and the other of a technical applicative type.
