The MATLAB software and its control commands tool-box rescue the instructor and students in this course with many advantages for both,especially for the ET student. 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. The student can then concentrateefforts in the overall design/analysis of a control system, leaving computationalcrunching to the virtual computer program

orhigher. Today, the combination of competitive market pressures, powerful computer hardwareand well designed software has resulted in CAD designers being asked to perform FEA early inthe design process. To enable these designers to perform FEA analysis, solid modeling softwarevendors have incorporated FEA into their solid modeling and design drafting packages.Unfortunately, while the software is easy to use, CAD designers usually do not have theeducation in specialized mechanics and high level mathematics necessary to understand thecalculations being performed by the FEA software. Even more important, without specialtraining, they do not have the ability to recognize the potential for errors in the FEA results.Errors may occur during the modeling

The laboratory for each individual course is designed to reinforcebasic concepts but typically has no larger purpose in the curriculum such as logically connectingto laboratory works completed in earlier or future courses. Since laboratory time is short andnew concepts must be emphasized, instructors are forced to use oversimplified set-ups forexperiments. As a result, students complete laboratory exercises in these courses withoutrealizing that they are all contributing to the development of truly integrated systems used in themodern industrial environment
