Automated tuning of the controller(via the automated tuning tab in Fig. 5) does not work well for this problem: since alreadyhas a zero, automated tuning results in a controller that consists only of an integrator (1/s) term.The PI controller is therefore designed manually: clicking on the red x at the top left of thewindow of Fig. 7 brings up a controller pole which can be placed on the negative real axis in theroot locus window. The pole location can be edited by clicking on the Compensator Editor tabseen in Fig. 6: the pole location is set to 0 in the location field. A zero is similarly placedon the

The curriculum in many colleges probably teaches with thesame content and method but the result is not the purpose of this paper tries to present. On the otherhand, some improvement has been made to enhance the learning of μC or μP such as what the article[2] shows with an experiment platform, but it again doesn’t discuss any information to let studentsdesign their own processors or controllers. As described above, knowing how to design with acommercially available μC or μP opens a door to explore embedded system development whichredirects the focus of the development of a digital system into software and hardware

Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) experience lower rates of unemployment and higher salaries, aphenomenon seen across all nations. Recent technological advancements in the engineeringfield have created an environment for educators to reconsider the ways they should beeducating future engineers. Educational reform efforts have been spurred by concerns aboutcompetitiveness and the insufficient number of graduating engineers to fill vacant positions inthe job market. Several organizations have released reports that describe the need forsystemic change in the engineering education curriculum with a focus on skills that helpgraduates develop their employability skills, such as process, design and analytical skills [1][2] [3

One of the motivations for the new sequence was to address thephenomena of students succeeding in material and energy balances but not retaining the skillsor recognizing the significance of the principles in the context of other courses.

It is essential for students to receive exposure to multiple technicaldisciplines so they can broaden their vision of engineering overall [2]. Typically, schools requirestudents to take engineering elective courses outside their primary engineering major, therebyfostering connections with other engineering domains. Electives present an excellent opportunityfor students to showcase their talents, cultivate new interests, and develop additional abilities [3],[4].
