Abstract

A methodology of the organization of practical classes of Control Systems course is presented in this paper. There are several voices in the community of educators and researchers over the benefits of using software simulation tools comparing the classical ones for implementing laboratory classes in engineering education curriculum. The aim of this approach is to make the students see the relation between theoretical concepts, MATLAB representations and physical circuits that can be used to implement compensators.
