AI-assisted control systems learning project

AI-assisted control systems learning project
California State University, Channel Islands
Vedang Chauhan, an instructor at California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI), has developed an AI-assisted learning module for a Feedback Control Systems course. This project introduces a self-guided, AI-supported learning approach aimed at promoting active engagement and deeper understanding in technical subjects. The method centers on structured, prompt-based exploration using AI tools like ChatGPT, where students begin with guided prompts, receive explanations and step-by-step walkthroughs, and then customize the interaction based on their individual learning styles and pace. The AI functions as a supportive peer tutor, helping students clarify concepts, develop problem-solving strategies, enhance critical thinking, and build confidence. The approach concludes with a student-completed problem and a short assessment to evaluate understanding without AI assistance. As a demonstration of this model, the topic of design via state-space methods in control systems is used to illustrate how AI can improve comprehension of abstract and mathematical concepts while fostering ethical and independent learning.
