Abstract
In this article, we present a teaching proposal regarding the basic elements of process control, without the need for any advanced mathematical framework. The methodology addresses conceptually the majority of the steps required for the analysis and design of simple control systems. The programatic content of this educational guideline is presented, as well as tools that can be used in the classroom. Furthermore, a test-bench kit is proposed in order to carry out experiments regarding different subjects.
