β¦ Synopsis
A typical single course on dynamics and control is limited in the coverage that can be given to either topic. At Rensselaer, we have had separate one-semester courses on dynamic systems (process dynamics) and process control for a number of years. In this article, we discuss how MATLAB and SIMULINK are used to aid student learning in the two courses. A discussion of the topics covered and the educational delivery methods used is provided. We also discuss the Rensselaer initiative to integrate mathematics throughout the science and engineering curriculum.

An effective environment for the incorporation of realistic case studies is introduced for a process dynamics and control course. Process Control Modules can be used in a computer laboratory under MATLAB 5.1 and Simulink 2.1 (Mathworks). Several industrial case studies are reviewed which exemplify t
Computer-based exams (CBEs) have been used in several engineering courses at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev over the past 3 years. In such exams, all the questions are solved through individual interactive work with a personal computer. Immediate feedback on errors is provided and the gradin
In this paper we describe one experiment in which a new co-ordination language, called MANIFOLD, is used to restructure an existing sequential Fortran 77 code from computational fluid dynamics (CFD), into a parallel application. MANIFOLD is a co-ordination language developed at CWI (Centrum voor Wis
In order to illustrate the use of CFD in providing an understanding of mixing processes, three examples, mixing in a pipe, homogenization with a static mixer and flow in a mixing vessel with a Rushton turbine, are discussed and compared with experimental results. Special attention is focussed on the
