Current leaders in engineering education haveshifted curriculums towards more hands-on, multidisciplinary project-based learning to helpstudents apply their technical knowledge while developing important soft skills such ascommunication and teamwork [24].Many universities are now following suit and have already begun to integrate an increased numberof client-facing and/or industry relevant project-based classes in their programs.

More often than not this requires the learning of new software like LabView todrive the control experiments. It also includes other hardware that can be equally expensive.This can leave students dependent on expensive hardware and software to control even thesimplest of systems. In this paper we compare two approaches; one with MATLAB and another more directapproach with an Arduino based controller. In both cases the students need either priorknowledge of MATLAB or Arduino programming to complete the experiments.
