This paper integrates LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robots into undergraduate control systems course to improve students’ learning experiences using Matlab as a development tool. This platform facilitates the students throughout teaching the course in learning the essential concepts of control systems such as modeling, stability analysis, and skill of designing controllers for the dynamic systems. The participants of the course identify the transfer function of the robot and compare it with the transfer function developed by using laws of physics. The students, then compare the identified model with the mathematical model by using stability analysis techniques, finding out that the stability range is much smaller for the experimental model than the mathematical model. After that, several types of controllers are designed and tested on the experimental model and EV3 robots, which demonstrates that there exists discrepancies between conceptual and practical designs. Finally, a comparison of students’ apprehension of a set of capabilities before and after taking the course shows the value of using EV3 robots on improving students’ learning experiences of control systems course.

Teaching computer science and particularly programming in the curriculum of a mechanical engineering bachelor poses a difficult task due to motivational factors of the students. In this paper we describe the measures we have taken to reduce barriers and motivate the freshmen students to deal with the subject by introduction of an e-learning course and further by offering an associated lab course with practical application of cyclic programming of a real-time system in teams. Further we present an adapted architecture how the lab course is enhanced to act as a remote lab. Finally we evaluate the impact of the course by measuring the success factors of different gender combined groups and give an outlook on future scenarios for lab courses to improve the learning experience and success of the students for both gender.
