Tentative learning design Sensors & Process Control
Description:
This is a tentative learning design for the subject 10 ECTS Sensors & Process Control which is being thought at Master level. Each year we have around 30-40 students signed up. This is a very relevant course where the students learn how to measure and control a process variable. With respect to Process control part we learn the theory behind the PID control. One of the challenges in the course is to properly understand the derivation of the model and its transformation in Laplace space. I see this as a flipped classroom and I would like to use the STREAM model, like enhancement. Students would have some out of class preparation, in-class explanation in forms of lectures, and probably some group work. This is followed again by out-of-class work (e-activities, discussion forum), and feedback and reflection next time we meet in person. I would like to try to use pencast and peerwise, last year I did it on whiteboard and uploaded the image from the whiteboard. I think they would gain more from pencast with audio.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
- Derive a first or second order ordinary differential model and Laplace transform it.

Additional information
Out-of-class teaching:
• read part of book
• watch youtube video
• answer to some questions in discussion forum and comment at least two other posts
In-class teaching:
• use the discussion forum as a starting point to see where they are
• explain the most difficult parts during the lectures
• do some group work to make activate the in classroom and discuss the heavy parts
Out-of-class again:
• upload a pencast explaining the Laplace transformation
• make them do some similar Laplace and upload it in the discussion forum. I will try to moderate the discussion, give feedback.
• comment on at least two posts
• use peerwise, using the book, and the knowledge so far, make a question and answer at least one question
In-class teaching:
• round up, give feedback, explain again,
• mentimeter, to see where they are
