Summary of the project

The project has been pioneering challenge-based education in control systems, focusing particularly on semi-autonomous driving. It has been integrating real-world problem-solving with academic learning, engaging students from various master's programs at TU/e in a hands-on educational setup. The students have been tackling complex control problems, interfacing with societal issues through semi-autonomous driving setups.

Aim of the project

The aim of the project has been to facilitate a deep, practical understanding of control systems in the context of semi-autonomous driving. It has been serving as a pilot for integrating challenge-based learning into the curriculum, preparing students for the industry with skills in project management, team organization, and communication, and enhancing their system-level thinking and technical expertise.

Results and learnings

The project has been successful in showcasing how CBL can motivate students to delve into practical and challenging problems in control systems. The lessons learned in this project have led to a new and improved implementation of the CBL team project in the AIES
