Simulation represents the major research method in all knowledge domains and a scientifically valid method of estimating the characteristics of complex systems used for decision making in different areas of engineering. The existing and projected systems can be explored effectively using mathematical models (analytical and simulation) implemented on high-performance computers, which act in this case...
This paper presents a hybrid control which includes swing-up and balancing control for pendubot system - a two-link under-actuated robot. The parameters of the pendubot system are measured in the actual pendubot system built in the automation lab, University of Technology and Education HCM City. A hybrid controller which drives the system close to the equilibrium manifold and maintains the system...
The tool TransPlaceSim was created for secure, easy to use and easy to extend tool to create, simulate and evaluate Petri net models. The paper deals with a new form of evaluation added to this tool which is evaluation of fuzzy Petri nets. In the first part, there are descriptions of Petri nets, fuzzy logic and possibilities of using fuzzy logic in teaching. Consequently, the tool TransPlaceSim is...
The inverted pendulum is the most popular benchmark for teaching and researches in control theory and robotics. Modeling and control of inverted pendulum on a cart is as one of the most important case in control theory. In this paper a new method in Piecewise Affine (PWA) models identification based on numerical analysis is proposed. The evaluation of this algorithm is investigated on a real system...
This paper shows how you can use the System Dynamics methodology for modeling social problems, however in these models as elsewhere, the knowledge acquisition phase becomes to be the bottleneck and affect other phases as the system representation and the decision making phase. An alternative to the acquisition of knowledge is based on expert systems methodologies that use judgments embodied in human...
This paper focuses on the development of an interactive system dynamics simulation model of the strategic university planning framework. To develop the model, we integrated both the balanced scorecard method and the system dynamics modelling method. Contrasting the traditional university planning tools, the developed model addresses university management problems holistically and dynamically. By integrating...
In this paper, we share our experience in using an innovative approach of teaching Engineering Science established by the French Ministry of Education for the French national preparatory classes for grandes écoles. The engineering science curriculum has moved from theoretical-based teaching into an engineering workflow-based style that considers engineering skills as an integrated part of the learning...
Cross education to diverse areas of Engineering requires innovation in the used resources. Thus, the process of simulation proves to be fundamental to a first approach of complex physical systems prior to implementation Moreover, the fact that sometimes there is a reduced time to combine a strong practical component to lectures makes use of tools such as virtual laboratories and remote laboratories...
There are many abstract concepts and mathematic theory in electron information specialty which are difficult to understand. Experimentation is the necessary part of teaching process. Simulation analysis of SystemView can renovate experiment contents expediently. This paper discusses the application of SystemView in experiment teaching of electron information specialty. The practice shows that the...
This paper describes distance laboratory for automotive electrical engineering. Designed system allows system identification and parameter tuning Learning objectives are clearly defined and their verification is included too. Designed distance laboratory provides the user with a practical experience in Power Electronic and Motion Control education.
Particle systems have been incorporated into a wide variety of applications in both academia and industry. They can be employed to investigate complex natural phenomena, illustrate scientific concepts and generate special effects for entertainment purposes. Recently, we implemented an educational simulation framework based on particle systems that can be used to perform interactive virtual experiments...
Pandemic influenza continues to be a national and international public health concern that has received significant attention recently with the recent swine flu outbreak worldwide. Many countries have developed and updated their preparedness plans for pandemic influenza. School closure has been recommended as one of the best ways to protect children and indeed all susceptible individuals in a community...
A simulation model is established based on Jackson's algorithm, which captures five social networks' properties, to analyze the dynamic characteristics of tacit knowledge diffusion in this paper. Different local-level tacit knowledge exchange behavioral patterns are considered in this model, namely `tacit knowledge trade' and `tacit knowledge teaching'. The steady-state knowledge level and the process...
This project involves asking three sets of engineering management students to develop group projects integrating simulation and optimization in different ways and assessing their absolute and relative educational effectiveness. These approaches are: a) Ask students to repeatedly simulate, using a conventional simulation tool, Witness?? in this case, a system whose design criteria are modified according...
This paper discusses teaching reform ideas in the ldquoscientific computingrdquo education by means of modeling and simulation, that can make students get a better understanding of the background, concept and design of each numerical algorithm in ldquoscientific computingrdquo education, and it will help them enhance their self-learning ability and exploration ability.
The article is devoted to the development of simulation model of educational process reflecting the state and dynamics of knowledge accumulation with the analysis and forecasting of the quality of education in the student group. The article includes short description of the behavior dynamics of intelligent agents depending on the purposes and characteristics of agents' state. Simulation of educational...
This paper proposes a translation methodology to emulate PLC control program in the Matlab/Simulink environment. The translation package automatically translates the PLC control program into Matlab/Simulink software language. The PLC control program is translated into a Matlab function block, within the Matlab/Simulink environment, that will control the model of the industrial process as long as the...
According to Aebli's operative method (1963) and Bruner's (1974) theory of representation the development of the process of thinking in teaching has the following phases - levels of abstraction: manipulation with specific things (specific phase), iconic representation (figural phase), symbolic representation (symbolic phase). Modern information technology has contributed to the enrichment of teaching...
Computer aided instruction (CAI) technology has been proved that it can strongly support teaching in improving class quality, students' studying efficiency and effectiveness. In terms of the requirement of general vehicle design course, this paper proposes a way to this kinds of course teaching by offering a practical teaching tool, which is based on supporting multi-engineering modeling and simulation...
This paper describes a teaching method by Pspice simulation in the course of electric circuits. Pspice's rich and powerful functions provide various methods to analyze circuits. Pspice assisted teaching method can be used at different levels to help students solve problems quickly and efficiently, or help them understand the second-order circuit better, even apply this way to some more complex circuits.
