5. COURSE OBJECTIVES

1. This lab is designed to give seniors and beginning graduate students some insight into different plants and transducers and

hands-on experience in designing and implementing real-time digital control schemes. (Criteria 3(a),(b),(c),(k),(e))

2. With lectures highlighting new developments in computer and sensor technologies, the need for life-long learning is

stressed. (Criteria (i),(k),(e),(b))

3. The course trains the students in both independent and team research and written communication of research results.

(Criteria (d),(g),(e))
