N2 - This article proposes an adaptive-learning method to teach system dynamic and control engineering courses for mechanical-engineering students. System dynamics and control engineering courses provide both theoretical lectures and practical experiments. Tower cranes offer experimental platform for implementation of dynamics and control systems. The corresponding curriculum including homework, simulations, labs, and advanced study, are also reported. The academic staff dynamically presented educational instruction on both theoretical lecture and laboratory exercises for individual students. The personalized education helps students to improve theoretical and practical experiences. The student survey demonstrated the effectiveness and validity of presented methods. The method can also be applied to other types of engineering-education courses.
