Abstract
This study examines the use of courseware to teach feedback control systems material to undergraduate mechanical and aerospace engineering students. Courseware for teaching the frequency response portion of the course was developed using Asymetrix Multimedia Toolbox and subsequently tested on a third year (Junior) level class. Academic results and attitudes of the students were examined and statistically compared to those of a control group. It was found that there was very little difference in the academic results and attitudes of students in the computer group and students in the lecture group. In addition, the effectiveness of the courseware was not related to students' previous computer experience. A cost analysis indicated that in most scenarios the use of courseware to teach control systems would be more costly than traditional lectures.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
