Therefore, hands-on laboratories have been an integral part of the engineeringcurriculum since its inception. This presentation will demonstrate the use of a novel low-cost experimental apparatus for use in a typical undergraduate course in control systemstaught to mechanical engineering students, i.e. students with limited exposure to electricalengineering. The system demonstrates the use of
