In this work, we compare theapproach to practical training of electronics engineers at Southeast University (SEU) in Nanjing,Jiangsu Province, China to that at the University of San Diego (USD) in San Diego, California,U.S.A. This work is the result of an international cooperation between faculty members at theseinstitutions. Both institutions are committed to helping students develop critical hands-on skills.Laboratories play an important role in the required curriculum for both institutions. However,the logistics of these laboratories vary. For example, at USD, the laboratories are integrated intoindividual courses while at SEU, there is a

Moreover, an attempt was made to give students a more in-depth multifaceted experience where they understand the nuances of the sensor, actuators and theprogramming used in the control experiments. Finally, this paper develops two controlexperiments that can be reproduced for less than one hundred dollars each. They can be built bystudents or faculty in a reasonable amount of time and lead to increased understanding of how todevelop and implement the control of an apparatus. In these experiments, students were allowedto explore multiple paths to a solution. These included, direct programming with open sourceArduino software, MATLAB

The importance of developing strong delegation skills as an essential project management characteristic will be stressed, measured and graded. Many of the peer reviews indicated the PMs did an inordinate amount of work. The burden shifted as different members of the group rotated into the PM role.
