Each of the one-credit courses is broken down into several modules, called units. Each unit represents a majortopic area. The unit consists of a study guide, worksheets, laboratory experiments, handouts ontheory not covered in the book, etc. The study guide is an assignment sheet that is a list oflearning activities to be performed in sequential order. These activities include:  Read particular pages in the textbook.  View videos (that take the place of live lectures)  Ask the instructor for a demonstration or an introduction to the laboratory equipment.  Fill out

This allows students who are kinesthetic learners (those who learn bydoing), the opportunity to learn at the same time as the oral learners. The pull comes from the fact that powerful computer simulation software, designed initially in thesixties, is now available to run on garden variety personal computers.

This gives Gp(s) = 1/(s^2 + 4 s + 5)Variations in steady state error can be monitored as the SP is varied from 2 Volts and 3 Volts.The system type can then be changed to 1 and the steady state error is zero regardless of thevalue of the SP.Experiment #4 – CompensatorsA variety of compensator experiments can be run.
