Rossiter, J.A. orcid.org/0000-0002-1336-0633, Serbezov, A., Visioli, A. et al. (2 more authors) (2020) A survey of international views on a first course in systems and control for engineering undergraduates. IFAC Journal of Systems and Control, 13. 100092.
Abstract
This paper summarises the results of an international survey of academics and industrialists on what should be prioritised in the first, and often only, control course taken by engineering undergraduates. The results are made up both of quantitative data whereby respondents selected from a number of options, and also of qualitative data where respondents entered free comments. Reflections on the results and summaries of common trends are given to help readers consider how the curriculum in their own institutions might be updated and modified to meet modern requirements. At the time of writing the survey had around 500 respondents covering a good spread of nationalities, employment status and engineering disciplines.
