c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014Affordable Lab Kit for Controls Education Page 24.143.2 Affordable Lab Kit for Controls EducationThis research developed a modular, portable, and affordable laboratory kit and accompanyingcurriculum for two controls courses in the General Engineering Department. The objective is todesign each kit to be assembled for under $100 while replicating the educational functionality ofa lab bench in a university controls laboratory. This will also allow older analog computers to beupdated with newer technology that is more representative of what is currently used in industry1.This hardware kit will replace expensive equipment with an
