Toachieve these learning objectives, active teaching and learning techniques alongwith modified conventional lectures and hands-on laboratory activities were used.In addition to the assignments, and

The laboratory activity should reinforce the theory presented in class byproviding a platform in which the theory can be applied. This paper summarizes a series oflaboratory activities dealing with a closed-loop, position control system that utilizes dual DC-solenoids as the drivers, and PC as the controller.
