Abstract
Dynamical system analysis is included in undergraduate courses in the Northern Ireland Polytechnic, as part of a presentation of general engineering methodology and more particularly, accompanied by synthesis techniques, in control options at final year honours level.
Such is the extent of the computational requirement, necessary for a non-trivial treatment, that steps have been taken to introduce computer usage where possible. Included is information on the initial stage of a project undertaken to provide for the computational needs of undergraduates involved in dynamical problems in the laboratory.
