Abstract
This chapter focuses on computer aided design (CAD) exercises and computer control experiments that are used to complement the more theory oriented introduction to automatic control techniques in the lecture hall. In the CAD exercises, each student in electrical engineering has to design some control systems. Frequency domain analysis and synthesis programs are available on an interactive computer. Several simulation packages and numerical libraries such as IMSL and AUTLIB provide the necessary background for exercises in advanced courses and project work, where the computer is an important tool. The interactive programs are in a question/answer mode with a number of operation codes for polynomial, matrix and linear time domain operations for continuous and discrete systems. Moreover, a new simulation language for combined continuous and discrete simulation is being developed. The students take part in the development through semester and diploma projects, thus, contributing to the CAD tools. In the computer control laboratory, about 20 experiments are available at the different levels of automatic control education.
