Control is central to senior level design in both fields.Mechanical engineers also learn the micro-phenomena of control but then extend it to macro-phenomena with all or part of a senior design course in factory automation [2].

Specifically, the course will askstudents to compare theoretical calculations of different aspects of an intelligent space solar arrayand compare them to experimental results obtained through the remote lab. Additionally,students will be asked to create MatLab simulation code and SimuLink control systems to beapplied to the experiment to give the students real experience in controlling a physical system.AcknowledgementsThe authors thank the
