In a standardelectrical engineering program, emphasis is placed on mathematical models. This approachassumes a certain level of mathematical competency among the students. MATLAB may beused to make it more appealing through visual representations of communication signals such asamplitude modulated (AM) or pulse code modulated (PCM) signals. Simulink may also be usedto model a complete communication system with several building blocks. Nonetheless,sometimes students struggle to understand some of the abstract concepts.

As a result the students either have to take such a course at the graduate level or, as isusually the case, they graduate without the digital control systems knowledge.The Manufacturing Engineering degree program at Washington State University in Vancouverrequires 128 credits for graduation. When the curriculum was designed a single control systemscourse was planned. There is no graduate program at the Vancouver campus and also there is nodigital control elective in the curriculum.This paper presents a hybrid analog/digital undergraduate control systems course with laboratoryexperiments.

ethics emphasize theresponsibility of engineers to consider the “safety, health, and welfare of the public” [2,3].Regulations, standards, laboratory practices, etc. reflect the importance of safety in engineeringwork. Also, the negative consequences associated with safety-related failures such as accidentsand product defects make such issues a priority for industry. Creating a safety culture isdifficult. It involves the performance of proper actions and the avoidance of improper actions.Any definition of safety must specify what is considered proper, what is considered improper,and what is an acceptable degree of risk.In engineering education, practical safety concerns are necessarily part of laboratory courses andsafety concepts are often

As an example, for the topic related to tolerance stacking, a simplified crankshaft isused (Figure 7). The scenario relates the simplified crankshaft to the performance of the racecar -the crankshaft is attached to the piston through connecting rod and transforms the reciprocatingmotion to rotary motion. The two rotating masses balance the rotating force of the crankshaft.Hence, the distance between the rotating masses is very important for the stability of the engine.Consequently, the student needs to choose a tolerancing scheme for an Engineering
