N2 - Control engineering is a key engineering discipline to design systems with desired behaviors in control environments. Its application area is so vast that many fields of engineering students are taught the course. This paper presents the experience of teaching advanced control engineering for postgraduate students of mechanical engineering. It presents the methodologies employed by the instructors while they teach the course. It discusses the presented methodologies in comparison with the established principles of best teaching methodologies. This paper pinpoint student’s lack of concentration or attention as the major problem associated with the existing teaching methods. Hence, a flexible teaching method such as online learning or hybrid learning was proposed to engage and motivate students’ initiative.
