Abstract

This document describes the development of a platform for virtual Problem-Based Learning in control engineering education. Four tools are proposed for it: experimentation, mathematical analysis, dynamic simulation and hypertext for the contents. They form a rich environment for learning through Internet, in which students solve control engineering problems using only a computer with Internet accessibility.
