On February 21, 2006, the National Academy of engineering recognized the achievements of the Learning Factory with the Bernard M. Gordon Prize for Innovation in engineering and Technology Education. The co-founders were commended “for creating the Learning Factory, where multidisciplinary student teams develop engineering leadership skills by working with industry to solve real-world problems.” This paper describes the origins, motivation, philosophy, and implementation of the Learning Factory. The specific innovations of the Learning Factory partnership were: active learning facilities, called Learning Factories, that provide experiential reinforcement of engineering science, and a realization of its limitations; strong collaborations with industry through advisory boards, engineers in the classroom, and industry-sponsored capstone design projects; practice-based engineering courses integrating analytical and theoretical knowledge with manufacturing, design, business concepts, and professional skills; and dissemination to other academic institutions (domestic and international), government and industry.
This paper presents discrete sliding mode control (DSMC) for nonlinear model of an inverted pendulum system. The reaching law method is used during the DSMC design. The uncertainties are structured in that system by c...
