  1. International cooperation in control engineering education using online experiments: Enabling technology and learning systems Prof. Dr. Jim Henry Prof. Dr. H. M Schaedel University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

  2. Prof. Dr. Herbert M. Schaedel, University of Applied Sciences Cologne, Germany Prof. Dr. Jim Henry, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, USA

  3. Pool of typical plants of process engineering at UTC

  4. Online Workshop in the practical control course at FHK • SS 2000 2 groups of 10 students • SS 2001 2 groups of 10 students • 22 2002 4 groups of 10 students Students of the 4th semester of the Faculty IME

  5. Online Control Workshop • Step response via the internet at UTC • Data transmission to the control lab at FHK • Evaluation of the data • Modeling and parameter estimation • Controller tuning and data transmission to UTC • Test of the control circuit via the internet • Data transmission from UTC to FHK

  6. Flow control system Flow system with mass flowmeter and valves Reservoir and pump with motor

  7. MENU experimental parameters

  8. Experimental and theoretical investigations From data: • Process Modeling • Parameter Estimation • Controller tuning

  9. Test of the controlled circuit at UTC via the internet • Transfer of the controller tuning to the Plant at UTC • Test of the control circuit behaviour • Data transfer of the results for the controlled cicuit to FHK Setpoint change Disturbance change

  10. Results • Students were fascinated by the opportunities of this type of education • they showed up very motivated • most of them repeated some of the experiments for the evaluation of the test results • way of cooperation will be extended

  11. Conclusions • The internet provides new and challenging ways for international cooperation in engineering education where distances do not play any role. • Common resources can be used for the benefit of students in countries around the world. • The authors estimate this as an excellent way of meeting the demands of a growing globalization in the fields of engineering education.
