evaluations. However, unless something isspecifically mandated by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), it islikely to be a low priority for inclusion in a curriculum.However, there is certainly an argument to be made that failure analysis should be mandated byABET – it may also be argued that, in a sense, it already is. Under Criterion 3, ProgramOutcomes and Assessment, engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduatesunderstand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context, engage in life-long learning, and demonstrate knowledge of contemporary issues (criteria h, i, and j,respectively)22. These outcomes can be difficult to document – unless case studies are includedin the curriculum. Many

An innovative feedback control laboratory has been developed in the department ofengineering technology at University of Central Florida to fill this need. The laboratory isequipped with some of the most frequently used control systems in engineering and industry. It isdesigned to bridge the gap between theory and real-life problems, and to give the studentsvaluable hands-on experience to help them better prepared for their careers. A number ofpractical feedback control system experiments are being developed that will allow students anopportunity to develop appropriate transfer functions and control programs for closed-loopsystem with a computer in
