Innovative Control Systems Laboratory Equipment

Experiments are described that represent a part of a laboratory program at Michigan Technological University that has been considerably augmented by the utilization of various types of custom-designed equipment. Some recent changes in the laboratory reflect changes in program goals that have occurred in response to the availability of improved digital-circuit technology. The laboratory program is designed to supplement the study of system theory and automatic control theory as presented in several under-graduate electrical engineering courses. © 1982 IEE
