Hand-drawn animated cartoons for control education: insights from the ∞sCaR project

Abstract

This paper reports the first results of a series of 2D animated cartoons in Control Education, developed during the project “∞sCaR – 2D Animated Cart∞ns for Control Education Rise”. Cartoons can be a powerful tool for enhancing engineering education by making complex concepts more accessible and engaging. The project and results presented in this paper try to exploit those pedagogical advantages in the field of Control engineering education. Feedback from the participants to this project is also proposed, together with promising perspectives for the Control Education community.
