“…Aristizabal et. al [3] developed an Android app to study the behavior of a perturbed mass-spring-damper system operating in a closed loop. An interactivity-based mobile app that provides a wide range of classic control design problems is presented by Guzman et al [21].…”

“…During the workshop, the instructor introduced the mCIT app's features by performing all the experiments described in the previous Section 5. At the end of the workshop, the participants were invited to evaluate the mCIT on a scale of 0 to 10, where a score between the intervals [0-2], [3][4], [5][6], [7][8], and [9-10] means strongly disagree (SD), disagree (D), neutral (N), agree (A), and strongly agree (SA), respectively. Table 4 presents the statements that are graded, where AVG represents the average grade of each statement.…”

“…Notably, besides the crucial role of automatic control and system identification concepts in numerous engineering careers, M‐learning has been little utilized for teaching these topics. To the best of our knowledge, only a few studies have been developed for this purpose [1, 3, 9, 15, 21]. For instance, a mobile‐based interface to control magnetic levitation, a two‐tank liquid level system, and a DC motor is presented in Frank & Kapila [15].…”

“…Another option is to use the Experience Controls App, which permits learning the system response and control design via simulation and real‐time experimental platforms [1]. It is worth noting that the studies [3, 21] are based on simulated experiments, whereas Frank and colleagues [1, 15] require a dedicated platform to perform the experiments. Finally, Concha et al [9] developed the CIT app to run real‐time experiments to identify and control first‐ and second‐order systems.…”

Topics of automatic control, parameter identification, and state estimation of a direct current (DC) motor are widely included in undergraduate and graduate engineering programs. Traditionally, theoretical classes are accompanied by simulation or experimental laboratory sessions. The simulation techniques usually do not consider essential dynamic behaviors exhibited by physical systems, such as friction and saturation. Meanwhile, the DC servomechanism, computing device, and associated software used for the experiments are usually expensive. These situations may be avoided through mobile learning by using a low‐cost and portable platform controlled by a mobile device. This article proposes a free Android application called Control and Identification Toolbox for motors (mCIT) and a low‐cost portable platform designed to perform real‐time experiments on DC servomechanisms. The portable platform comprises a mobile device with the mCIT app, a DC servomechanism, and an Arduino‐based data acquisition system. The mobile device, which can be a smartphone, performs the computational and user interface tasks. The effectiveness of the mCIT app and platform are evaluated in online, hybrid, and face‐to‐face courses. The results indicate that the proposed mobile technique improves the teaching and learning experience of automatic control and system estimation topics.

The increasing use of smartphone technology in people's daily lives and its continuous development lead to the inevitable use of mobile applications because of their easy access anytime and anywhere. In this study, a new Android application for smartphones is developed and presented for the remote control of a micro‐cogeneration system from a mobile device without the need to be near the system. The mobile application consists of five different windows through which real‐time data on the most important variables of the system can be observed at any time. Additionally, the application allows the user to select the system's desired operating mode among a total of five possibilities. Alarms and warnings are also shown along with the detailed status of the main variables of the groups forming the system. Moreover, the application can graphically show the progression of variables at any time, and a history of the changes to the system is available. An experimental practice based on the “use of current mobile applications” for a subject of the Master of Thermal Engineering is proposed as a pedagogical method that involves the procedure “learning by doing,” in which students can realize the great advantages of using these technologies. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
