Abstract
The chapter offers some points of view concerning the education in control engineering on the basis of a Magnetic Levitation System with Two Electromagnets (MLS2EM) laboratory equipment. The syllabus of control engineering includes the treatment of the following issues: plant analysis and modeling, development of low-cost control solutions and algorithms applied on real-time laboratory experiments, and the assessment used in the syllabus of control engineering courses. The presentation is application-oriented focusing on the ML2EM laboratory equipment, and the low-cost control solutions presented here deal with state feedback control, proportional-integral-derivative control and model predictive control. Our syllabus structure is attractive as it allows the proper assessment of students’ knowledge. The real-time experiments highlighted in this chapter accompany the laboratory-based education in control engineering and they ensure the improved understanding of the theoretical aspects taught at the lectures.
