Abstract
A novel portable laptop control experiment is presented, which does not require the space and expense typically required for undergraduate control laboratories. Interactive experiments are designed to cover all of the topics required for an introductory course in controls, as well as a haptics experiment. It is believe that the system is useful for practicing engineers who wish to update their control knowledge and skills.
