The same evaluation instruments indicated great satisfaction with thenew course described in this paper.The engineering aspects of the automobile have been lost under the cover imposed by bodydesigners and outstanding operational characteristics make it unnecessary to open the hood orcheck the oil level.

Of course, some special virtual laboratory time needs to bespent by students to get trained in the use of these select MATLAB control commands.Thus, the ET student is trained in solving the control analysis/design problem withoutgetting distracted with many intermediate calculations, and subsequently, the student’scomprehension of the controls subject is much better.
