Pandemic evolution in basic control courses for undergraduate engineering students

Presenting automatic control concepts to biomedical engineers is a challenging task due to the lack of background and/or motivation of many students. In this paper, a learning-by-doing experience is shown, where the COVID-19 pandemic evolution is used as a teaching project along the course. By applying this methodology, students report a better understanding of the background concepts and their possible use in applications that they feel close to their interests
