Abstract

The paper discusses the development of a first course in control engineering and its support using the simulation package Dynast. The work, which has several partners, was supported by the Leonardo Agency in a more extensive project DynLAB on web based education. Examples and virtual reality experiments in Dynast support the learning of the control analysis and design methods.
