I. TEACHING ACTIVITIES

1. TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS

The main aspect of teaching effectiveness worth mentioning is in conjunction with the efforts to establish introductory and advanced level graduate courses of multidisciplinary nature which will allow increased interaction among the various departments within the College of Engineering and the University, in general. The first phase of establishing a set of multidisciplinary courses has been completed with NUEN 619/MEEN 652 Multivariable Control System Design, an advanced multivariable control system design course, attended primarily by Ph.D. and/or advanced M.S. students from a number of engineering departments. Thus far the course has been taught 9 times and it has been attended by graduate students from AERO, CHEN, CVEN, ELEN, MEEN, and NUEN. The contents of this course have been coordinated with MEEN 651 (a prerequisite to NUEN 619/MEEN 652), allowing students from all engineering departments specializing in control engineering to be exposed to state-of-the-art design techniques. In view of student and other faculty feedback, the approach used in teaching this course appears to have been very effective. The major thrust of the course is to teach students design of control systems using computer-aided-design (CAD) tools. Therefore, the course assignments consist entirely of extensive weekly design projects, and the course grade is based upon the student performance on these projects. No in-class exams are given because time constraints and the unavailability of in-class CAD tools do not allow one to test the students' true ability to complete control system designs for real-world systems with realistic specifications. A control system design project is a requirement for completion of the course. During the Spring '92 two new multidisciplinary courses have been introduced in cooperation with a number of faculty. A new course in Nuclear Propulsion has been offered jointly with the Aerospace Engineering Department, as a result of the renewed interest to reestablish U.S. technical capability in this technology. A mix of graduate and undergraduate students from the Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering Departments attended the course. Even though the Aerospace Engineering students had no background in nuclear systems and the Nuclear Engineering students had no background in orbital mechanics and propulsion, the goal had been to teach them certain system level aspects of nuclear propulsion allowing them to realize the boundaries of their specialties, while forcing them to interface with each other. The term project gave the students a great opportunity to learn communication among different disciplines. The student interest and encouragement for continued offering of the course has been significant. Additionally, a course in Neural Networks, jointly taught by the Electrical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, and Mathematics Departments, has been offered. The course offers Masters and Ph.D. level students an introductory exposure to an area with explosive growth in the last few years. In its first offering the course attracted 20 students from a number of departments around the university. The term project gave students with and without engineering backgrounds the opportunity to work together in an area that combines biological, information processing, and electronics engineering backgrounds. The follow-on phase for this effort has been to establish graduate level courses of multidisciplinary nature in the area of System Model Identification and Neural Networks for Estimation and Control. The first of this courses (System Model Identification I dealing with linear dynamic system identification) has been offered for the first time in Fall ‘92 and it was attended by 12 students from AERO, CHEN, CVEN, ELEN, MEEN, and NUEN. The same course has been offered three additional times and it is now in the process of becoming a permanent course. It is hoped that the second course (System Model Identification II, dealing with nonlinear dynamic system identification) will be offered in the near future. As a result of major improvements in digital computer technology, the subject of empirical system modeling has became of utmost importance in a number of engineering disciplines requiring real-time applications, as well as in non-engineering disciplines such as social sciences. The main uses of system identification in engineering have been in signal processing, fault diagnosis and adaptive control.

The second of this follow-on phase courses (Neural Networks for Intelligent Estimation and Control) has been offered for the first time in Fall ‘96 and it was attended by 16 students from AERO, CHEN, CVEN, ELEN, MEEN, and NUEN. The course is an introductory level exposure to the uses of artificial neural networks for nonlinear estimation (system identification, prediction, filtering, smoothing, parameter estimation) and control. Applications of neural networks to fault diagnosis are discussed and the students are expected to complete a term project. The course is being offered for the second time in the Fall ’98 attended by 12 students. Following is a summary table of the numerical student evaluations for Dr. Parlos, along with some selected comments from students. Tables for both before and after the Spring of 1998 are provided to reflect the changes in the Student Evaluation Forms.

Fall 09 Fall 10 Fall 11 Fall 12

Description and Contributions of the Course: This course has replaced MEEN 335 as a Dynamic Systems and Controls course. The course consists of content regarding modeling of mechanical, electrical, electromechanical, thermal and hydraulic systems. The modeling concepts follow subject matter on sampling of signals and their impact on data acquisition. The second half of the course consists of concepts from analysis and design of simple feedback control systems. The course has a laboratory component that is intended to provide the students a hands-on understanding of concepts related to measurements in dynamic systems, limitations of models, control system analysis and design, and controller implementation on a digital computer. In the process of developing MEEN 364, a complete set of typed lectures notes, solved problems, handouts covering mathematical background, laboratory manual, tutorial material on the use of laboratory software, etc. has been prepared and is made available to all registered MEEN students through the Student Information Retrieval System (SIRS). The SIRS is available at the Mechanical Engineering Departmental server and the MEEN 364 course material which are in excess of 400 pages can be accessed through the following URL http:/parlos.tamu.edu/MEEN364/index.html Towards enhancing the effectiveness of the lectures related to the design of control systems, an effort is currently being planned to develop an “interactive design classroom” that will allow instructors to teach control system design related concepts through the use of interactive design software, such as MATLAB and Simulink. The College of Engineering at Texas A&M University and the Department of Mechanical Engineering have jointly made some resources available towards the development of this design classroom concept. NOTE: A separate binder is available that contains all relevant information regarding the material covered in MEEN 364 lectures and laboratory.

Description and Contributions of the Course: This course is intended to be an advanced level multivariable control system design course, emphasizing the state-of-the-art in design methods which make extensive use of computer-aided-control-system-design software. Hybrid (time and frequency domain) control system design methodologies are taught and students apply their acquired skills to realistic design projects. The main contribution of the course is to prepare Ph.D. and/or advanced M.S. level students for further research in the area of control engineering. NUEN689 Nuclear Propulsion Spring 92 (Joint with AERO) Fall 93 Description and Contributions of the Course: This course is intended to be an introduction to the field of nuclear rocket propulsion, appropriate for seniors and/or graduate students. Basic concepts from mission analysis, rocket propulsion, and space nuclear propulsion system design are reviewed. A number of currently proposed nuclear thermal and electric propulsion concepts are presented and their potential contributions to planned space exploration missions are analyzed. An in-depth treatment of recent technology developments in nuclear fuels and materials, energy conversion systems, heat rejection systems, and instrumentation and control concludes the course. NUEN689 Neural Networks: Theory and Spring 92 Applications (Joint with ELEN, MATH) Description and Contributions of the Course: This course is an advanced undergraduate and/or first year graduate course in neural networks. The main objective of the course is to teach the fundamentals of the neural networks technology from the biological, mathematical and engineering perspectives, as well as to expose the students to the interrelationships among the various components of this diverse field. The intent is to expose the students to the theoretical as well as the practical aspects of this explosively growing field and to prepare them for further learning on their own. NUEN689/ System Model Identification I Fall 92 ELEN689 Fall 94 Fall 95 Fall 97 Description and Contributions of the Course: This is an introductory graduate level course in system model identification (empirical modeling) aimed at exposing the students to the uses of empirical methods for modeling, estimation and control. The focus of the

ALEXANDER G. PARLOS

course is on the development and validation of models for systems and/or processes characterized by significantly uncertain phenomena. This is the first part of a two-course series, and it is exclusively within the bounds of linear system representations. The follow-on course will deal with nonlinear system identification. Primary emphasis is placed on the uses of the available algorithms, though some of the theoretical aspects of the various identification methods are covered. Strong emphasis is placed on projects dealing with the empirical modeling of processes using field data as opposed to simulated data. A model development and validation competition using student-developed software is planned, enabling students to become more creativity than when solving analytical problems. NUEN689/ Neural Networks for Intelligent Fall 96 ELEN689 Estimation and Control Fall 98 Description and Contributions of the Course: In contrast to a general survey course on neural networks and applications, the objectives of this course is to stress those aspects of neural networks architectures and learning algorithms which appear to have the highest potential of success in addressing problems dealing with dynamic estimation and control engineering. The foundations of such neural networks architectures and the associated learning algorithms will be covered, along with certain architectural design aspects of neural networks. The course will be a balance between rigorous treatment and engineering reality. Therefore, the “art” of designing working neural networks will be balanced by the existing body of knowledge on neural networks as it is applicable to dynamic estimation and control. This should be considered as a second graduate level course in neural networks computing algorithms, with the thrust of applications to nonlinear dynamic estimation and control system design. The need and usefulness of neural network computing algorithms will be motivated by first presenting the linear and the traditional nonlinear approaches to estimation and control of dynamic systems, followed by “neural solutions” to these problems. This will be accomplished by developing and applying algorithms for nonlinear estimation and control of systems and/or processes characterized by such complexity that linear algorithms or traditional nonlinear algorithms are not applicable and/or do not offer acceptable results. The last part of the course will deal with case studies in dynamic estimation and control engineering. COURSES UNDER DEVELOPMENT

Course No. Title To be Taught NUEN689/ System Model Identification II Not taught yet ELEN689 Description and Contributions of the Course: This is a graduate level course in nonlinear system model identification aimed at exposing the students to the uses of nonlinear empirical modeling methods. The focus of the course will be on the development and validation of nonlinear models for systems and/or processes characterized by poorly understood complex phenomena. This is the continuation of the course on linear system identification, and it will exclusively deal with nonlinear system representations. Primary emphasis will be placed on the uses of the available algorithms, as there is very little theoretical material of practical use to engineering students. A significant part of the course will be devoted to the study of real-world applications of model development and validation. Furthermore, the students will be required to make presentation of their literature search findings because most reported developments in nonlinear system identification have occurred in the very recent past.

MEEN411 Digital Controls Spring 10 Spring 09

Spring 07 Spring 04 Fall 00 Fall 99 Description and Contributions of the Course: This is a senior technical elective course in digital controls. The new course contents contain both classical and modern control theory material with an emphasis on digital controls. An extensive set of lecture notes, solved problems, background math material notes have been generated and they are available on the web. All attempts have been made to upgrade some of the contents of the pervious version of MEEN 411 to include subject matter that is more aligned with the demands placed upon Mechanical Engineering graduates these days and the future needs of our discipline. The course has a design project that combines advanced dynamics, modeling, control system analysis, analog and digital design. The project is completely based on simulation tools. NUEN404 Nuclear Reactor Analysis Spring 88 Spring 90 Spring 91 Spring 93 Spring 94 Description and Contributions of the Course: This is the second junior level course in nuclear reactor analysis, dealing with aspects of neutronic design of nuclear reactors. The course has been substantially revised to include analysis and design methods currently used by industry and government organizations. Extensive programming has become part of this course allowing the students to develop and use analysis and design tools expected of engineers with undergraduate education. As a result of teaching NUEN 404 for a number of years, a manuscript has been prepared on the subject matter covered in the course which, given a couple of more iterations through the students taking the course, will be ready for publication. This appears necessary because the last relevant text, which is the official course textbook, was published in 1965.
