Course on Dynamics of multidisplicinary and controlled Systems Part I Modeling and Simulation

About this course This Web-based course on dynamics of multidisciplinary controlled systems has been developed for • regular students wishing to complement the traditional face-to-face courses • distance-education students at different levels of vocational study and training • practising engineers in the context of continuing education or lifelong learning • teachers intending to innovate the courses they teach • industrial enterprisers interested in enhancing the qualification and efficiency of their personnel • providers of regular, continuing and life-long-learning courses The subject of dynamics and control underlies all aspects of modern technology and plays the de-termining role in the world-market competition of engineering products. Its importance increases with the ever-growing demands on operational speed, efficiency, safety, reliability, or environment protection. Nevertheless, entrepreneurs report lack of professionals sufficiently qualified in this field and vocational schools complain about the overall decline of interest in engineering study among young people. Profes-sional associations call for radical changes in the engineering curriculum and for innovative approaches to vocational training
