Abstract :
This contribution describes a Web-based system developed for control engineering education. Simulation and visualisation of dynamical systems in the environment of a standard Web-browser are made possible by extending its capabilities. The communication with a powerful computation/simulation engine is realised. Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML) is used to animate the virtual 3D models of dynamical systems. Tools for online graphical representation of simulated signals and live mathematical relationships are developed using Java. The courseware is classified into tutorials, exercises and virtual experiments
