There is a continual need to updateand augment the content of lecture courses to keep pace with this change, but it is in the area ofengineering education and experimental work where major concerns arise. The central problemstill remain the same; providing for students meaningful and relevant practical experiences whilebeing limited by very finite resources in the provision of laboratory hardware and infrastructure.One solution to this problem is to use computer based techniques to interface the students wi ththe physical world, with suitable front-end design to provide sophistication and increasedflexibility.Many academic courses regarding mechatronics have already begun incorporating computer -based educational tools for students use, either

for all three programs, it was decided that students inthese (and other) courses be provided with relevant hands-on laboratory experience. However,this decision was made at a time when control systems engineering was, and still is, undergoingsignificant changes. Firstly, a paradigm shift is occurring with regard to the type of engineering graduatesneeded by today’s fast-paced and intensively competitive global economy; employers wantgraduates with broader focus who can contribute almost immediately. Secondly, the price toperformance ratio of computing power is rapidly decreasing resulting in greater and more diverseuse of microcontrollers, digital signal processors (DSPs) and microprocessors.

However, that confidence is often limited to the constructs of thetextbooks used in the specific courses, and laboratory work may not always challenge or excitestudents.
