Abstract

This paper proposes an RBL teaching method for Nonlinear Systems to address three difficulties: visualization of fractional-order memory effects, understanding of PDE-ODE coupling, and communication resource optimization. Using synchronization control of T-S fuzzy fractional-order coupled PDE-ODE systems via dynamic event-triggered control as the core case, a three-stage process (problem identification, theory mapping, algorithm design, simulation verification) guides students through modeling, controller design, and validation. The proposed mode establishes a complete pathway from theory to engineering implementation, cultivating research innovation and autonomous inquiry skills.
