Collaborative Learning in Control Systems Using a Revised Team-Based Approach

Abstract

Teaching control systems courses solely through lectures are only sometimes effective in preparing students for practical applications and problem-solving scenarios. A revised team-based learning approach has been implemented in a control systems course to address this issue. The objective is to help students better understand control system concepts, promote cooperation and teamwork, and enhance their problem-solving skills. This paper details the changes in the course learning outcomes since the implementation of team-based collaborative learning, which was partly based on student evaluations. Additionally, the survey used to evaluate the revised team-based collaborative learning approach demonstrates that the revised version effectively teaches technical content and improves problem-solving, professional development, and interpersonal team skills in a junior-level control systems course. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.
