on wheels. Another form of inverted pendulum system has the pendulum installed on a rotatingarm or disk. The driving rotating arm can rotate in the horizontal plane to balance the drivenpendulum that can rotate in the vertical plane. The equations of motion of these two forms ofinverted pendulum systems are different. This paper is concerned about the later form of invertedpendulum system (called rotary inverted pendulum system).Figure 1. a) Inreted pendulum system on a cart; b) Inverted pendulum system on a rotating arm (Courtesy of Quansser, Ontario, Canada) As popular examples of unstable systems, various inverted pendulum systems have been usedfor research and education in control design for

withacademia in an engineering education conference in 2010 [18-20].Students first became involved in this project in the spring 2015 semester during a solarphotovoltaic course (17 students) at Sam Houston State University (SHSU). During the course,students were tasked with building a portable grid-tied solar photovoltaic lab equipment afterextensive lectures to learn the theory. Students worked in teams to prepare an action plan for theproject. Four teams were created for the initial steps of the project. The assignments of the teamsare (a) estimates and quotes for the materials; (b) computer aided design (CAD); (c) productionof the portable stand; (d) purchasing of solar photovoltaic related equipment and supply; and (e)building the unit-system

Based ona free-body diagram, the system differential equation is expressed in (1). Using LaplaceTransform, this time-domain equation leads to a position-to-external force transfer functiongiven by equation (2). Once the transfer function is derived, a set of parameter values (m = 0.1kg, b = 1 N*s/m and k = 2 N/m) is used to obtain the system transfer function shown in (3

Incontrast, graph b) illustrates in-class delivery was not significant from a cost perspective.
