“…This resulted in students of Control engineering having to encounter difficulties assimilating the theoretical concepts explained in the lectures with the practicalities, as discussed in (Méndez, Lorenzo et al 2006). This is prominently also due to the fact that before affording elementary control systems design, it is necessary to explain many mathematical concepts.…”

Abstract-This paper focuses on teaching control systems to engineering students not only by way of the traditional lecture deliveries, but also by implementing several student-focused problems based self-directed learning projects as well as presentations from students. Engineering field constantly evolves and thus teaching a module to engineering students should involve current state-of-the-art research trends in the lectures. In addition, the tutor should also motivate students to have the current research developments incorporated within the student's self-learning projects. The work presented in this paper revolves around three mini-projects, each project on a different aspect of control engineering and to be completed within two weeks each. The aim of these problem based self-directed learning miniprojects is to get acquainted with the practical aspects of the theoretical learning that has been undertaken within the lectures, something that UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC) focuses on. After completion of the miniproject, the students present their work/discuss results etc. as a power-point presentation lasting 15 minutes, and answer queries from peers (compulsory) and tutor, thus promoting life-long learning along with class participation and peer assessment. The student is also given verbal feedback after each of these project presentations, thereby encouraging improvements in the subsequent presentations taking place after two weeks. The purpose of these projects is to keep alight with the practical aspects of the current professional practices in industry, in the area of engineering, while also building a strong foundation through the self-learning model, thereby promoting deep learning via a blended approach. A questionnaire is also presented in the results and discussion section, which suggests that inclusion of a blended approach has improved the student's reading beyond the course requirements, has encouraged them towards deeper learning, and also improved both their theoretical as well practical aspects in engineering education.Index Terms-Control engineering, self-learning, miniprojects, deep learning, life-long learning.

Abstract. In this work shows an user interface interactive for the design of different types of compensators (lead, lag and jag-lead phase) by the frequency response method. This method belongs to the program of study in different engineering courses. The interface was implemented in MATLAB/GUIDE. The purpose of this interface is to assist engineering students in the study, analysis and design of these compensators and develop their engineering abilities through lab works. The interface shows useful due to in each step of the procedure design the performance parameters of the system are shown, as well as the effort control amplitude.Resumo. Neste trabalho apresenta-se uma interface de usuário interativa para o projeto de diferentes tipos de compensadores (por avanço, por atraso e por atraso-avanço de fase) utilizando o método da resposta de frequên-cia. Esse método faz parte do programa de estudo nos diferentes cursos de engenharia. A interface foi implementada no MATLAB/GUIDE. O propó-sito dessa interfaceé auxiliar os alunos de engenharia no estudo, análise e projeto desses tipos de compensadores e desenvolver as suas habilidades através dos trabalhos laboratoriais. A interface mostra-seútil porque a cada passo dos projetos os parâmetros de desempenho do sistemas em estudo são mostrados, bem como a amplitude do esforço de controle.
