application has over digital orphysical textbooks.In regards to the use of software to supplement the educational process, many academic papershave been published exploring this topic. Many researchers have acknowledged the value ofhaving a virtual laboratory to explore physical phenomenon, noting it is an efficient, cost-effective alternative to physical laboratories, and as a potentially suitable replacement whenphysical laboratories are not available [2]-[6]. Many studies report the value of simulations tostudent learning, noting their ease of introduction into pre-existing curricula [7]-[10].Educational technology has demonstrated the ability to stimulate more interactive andcooperative teaching methods and student learning, in addition to saving

for a greater diversity oftraining setups to be utilized in a smaller area.IntroductionIn order to effectively teach instrumentation, mechatronic and robotic courses in an Engineeringor Engineering Technology curriculum, a variety of electromechanical laboratory setups aredesirable. [1] Exposing students to an assortment of technologies is also desirable, to give themas broad an experience as is reasonable. Thus, setups containing different sensors, effectors andactuators and indicators are needed. Quite often, the cost of such laboratory setups (or trainers) ishigh, thereby challenging the desire to have numerous full setups.To broaden the students’ programming capabilities, many programs teach such courses acrossboth microcontroller and
schematicdiagrams. Documentation for the Simulink blocks may be found on the MathWorks web site[14]. Additional resources, including simulation models for various circuits and systems, are alsoavailable on Youtube and the MATLAB Central File Exchange web site [15]. When teaching thecourse again, Simulink would be further integrated into the course with additional improvements.Experiments would be expanded to include induction motors, smart grid, and renewable energy.Laboratory ExercisesThroughout the semester, students completed a total of nine laboratory exercises in addition to afinal project that required an oral presentation. Students submitted two-page laboratory reportsthat included a summary and conclusion where students were asked to include, as
