Abstract

Studies have shown the advantages of combining Art and Science allowing a greater range of engagement by students across multiple senses and thus improving their long term retention and understanding of complex scientific notions. This paper offers some insights from the “∞sCaR – 2D Animated Cart∞ns for Control Education Rise” project. The goal of this project is to develop 2D animated cartoons on Control to both motivate engineering students to pursue further studies in Control and also to help them better appreciate some of the foundational concepts. In consequence, the authors hope this will increase the impact of Control on the younger generation.
