教学实验室在工程项目中很常见。教学实验室应该随着技术的发展而发展，并支持高等教育的变化，如在线课程的日益普及。在这项研究中，一个负担得起的和便携式的实验室套件的设计，以取代昂贵的校园设备的两个控制系统课程。整套设备的价格不到135美元，重量不到0.68公斤。它由现成的组件组成（例如，Raspberry Pi，DC电机）和3D打印部件。该套件有两种不同的配置。第一（基础）配置是具有位置和速度传感器的DC电动机系统。第二种配置增加了一个古田倒立摆附件与另一个位置传感器。这些配置复制了大部分学生的学习成果，为他们设计的两个控制系统课程。
Instructional laboratories are common in engineering programs. Instructional laboratories should evolve with technology and support the changes in higher education, like the increased popularity of online courses. In this study, an affordable and portable laboratory kit was designed to replace the expensive on-campus equipment for two control systems courses. The complete kit costs under $135 and weighs under 0.68 kilograms. It is comprised of off-the-shelf components (e.g., Raspberry Pi, DC motor) and 3D printed parts. The kit has two different configurations. The first (base) configuration is a DC motor system with a position and speed sensor. The second configuration adds a Furuta inverted pendulum attachment with another position sensor. These configurations replicate most of the student learning outcomes for the two control systems courses for which they were designed.
