Abstract :
This paper describes automatic control laboratory experiments developed at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the West Virginia University Institute of Technology. Significance is given to unstructured-based instruction. The laboratory course is offered concurrently with an introductory lecture course in automatic control theory. Experiments are designed to give students thorough understanding of basic concepts and phenomenon of control theory.
