Abstract

This work-in-progress paper investigates the effectiveness of a course module on frequency response/Bode plots in a junior-level dynamic systems and control course. The module includes flipped lectures, a random Bode problem generator, and an experiment using a 3D printed beam. The effectiveness of the module is assessed through pre and post surveys, student comments on the course evaluations, and by comparing scores on a specific final exam question between two offerings of the course.
