Based onmy observations so far, as well as on student feedback, students become very highly motivatedby the design component of the course, and many end up with a thorough grasp of thefundamental principles of control systems design. The open-ended approach allows forcreativity and flexibility in the design process, with both the instructor and students benefittingfrom an array of designs. A few examples of actual student projects will be presented.MotivationThe incorporation of project-based learning (PBL) in the curriculum has been known to helpstudents develop an intuitive

The class was to be a capstone class, integrating a majority of the students’ educational experiences in the curriculum. 2. The class was to be structured around a team experience, with students working in teams of 4-6 students on a given project, to be completed over the course of the semester. 3.
