Abstract
The availability of commercial computer-aided design packages has had a substantial effect on teaching of control theory. Computer aids have become an essential part of modem control engineering curriculum. This paper discusses the role of recent interactive graphical tools in teaching control theory. These tools are normally used in conjunction with interactive computer-aided design packages. However, the use of interactive graphical tools is particularly significant because they provide practical insight into control system fundamentals. They make possible an early introduction of concepts such as linearization, effects of nonlinearities, integrator-windup, time delays etc. on the performance of a control system. At the same time, they allow for demonstration of design iterations interactively. Hence design iterations using classical methods (root locus, Bode) and modern methods (LQG, H ∞ ) may be carried out in a very instructive fashion. The use of interactive graphical oriented tools would reinforce active participation of students
