Figure 1. Linear actuator (cart) and Inverted pendulum system.Often when the inverted pendulum is used as a laboratory instructional project, the plant,manipulating element, and measuring transmitter (Figure 2) are pre-assembled for students, whoinstead study and implement the controller element, often in the form of a PID controller.Although this approach enables increased attention to be paid to the design and implementationof the control algorithm, it deprives students of the learning experience associated withphysically constructing the entire feedback control system: conversion of physical parametersinto electrical signals, integration and wiring of the manipulating element, etc. However,building such systems is often time intensive and

The NYSCATE modules incorporate the informed design cycle, whichis similar in approach to the iterative engineering design process. Students work in teams ondesign challenges that emphasize the application of science and mathematics principles, asopposed to a trial-and-error approach, to the design solution.

As a result, the need for well-trained engineers and technicians who can design,operate, and maintain this high-tech equipment has substantially increased. Different applicationsof industrial control are typically offered within EET curriculum requiring strong backgrounds indigital circuits and power electronics. Our institution has an excellent ABET accredited EETprogram which offers a course in industrial electronics. To avoid increasing degree requirements,it was necessary to revise the current course to incorporate student’s projects and designassignments. Projects are key
