Abstract:Over the past couple decades, mechanical engineering programs have made significant advances in developing educational materials and laboratory exercises in controls and mechatronics [1][2][3][4] . However, there is an important gap remaining between the academic programs and the needs of the graduates and industry. The academic programs are heavily oriented towards control theory, board-level electronics, interfacing and microprocessors supplemented with laboratory equipment, such as the inverted pendulum, an… Show more
