Abstract

This study describes the development of a MATLAB/Windows/C++ PC environment designed to teach fundamental concepts from classical systems and controls. Interactive computer-aided-lessons (ICALs) form the heart of the environment. Upon entering the environment, a master menu is provided from which the user can select a starting ICAL. The user is then led through a sequence of ICALs - each carefully designed to teach a specific concept. During each lesson, the screen is divided into three (3) child windows. They are Goal Window, the Introduction, Question, Answer, Explanation Window, and the Graphics Window.
