This project expands the area of Dynamic Systems and Control in the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering disciplines at The University of Texas at El Paso. Student learning is to be enhanced by:1. incorporating laboratory experiments into the present lecture-only Electrical Engineering (EE) Controls course, and 2. by updating the current set of Mechanical Engineering (ME) Controls laboratory experiments. The new laboratory is adapted from a Controls laboratory concept that was originally implemented at The University of Texas - Pan American. Several changes to the original formulation result in an improvement in the laboratory's functional and cost effectiveness. Students in the two (EE and ME) Controls courses will use state-of-the-art software and hardware in this lab to:1. practice a model-based simulation-oriented approach to control systems design and development, and 2. implement Digital Signal Processor (DSP)-based controllers and physically demonstrate their implemented controllers on both educational and industrial hardware, such as electromechanical actuators, inverted pendulums and simple robots. The project aims to increase the number of underrepresented minority students and graduates in the field of Engineering. Actual and/or videotape demonstrations of the more 'exciting' experiments as well as dissemination on the World Wide Web will be carried out to motivate lower-level Engineering students and to influence pre-college students in the region (the majority of whom are Hispanic) to study Engineering. Finally, this project serves as an improved Dynamic Systems and Control model for other schools.

该项目扩展了德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校电气和机械工程学科的动态系统和控制领域。 学生的学习将得到加强：1。 将实验室实验纳入目前只讲授电气工程（EE）控制课程，以及2。通过更新当前的一套机械工程（ME）控制实验室实验。新实验室是从最初在德克萨斯大学泛美分校实施的控制实验室概念改编而来的。 对原始配方进行了几项更改，从而提高了实验室的功能和成本效益。 在两个（EE和ME）控制课程的学生将使用最先进的软件和硬件在这个实验室：1。实践基于模型的面向仿真的控制系统设计和开发方法; 2.实现基于数字信号处理器（DSP）的控制器，并在教育和工业硬件上实际演示其实现的控制器，如机电执行器、倒置式执行器和简单的机器人。 该项目旨在增加工程领域中代表性不足的少数民族学生和毕业生的人数。 更“令人兴奋的”实验的实际和/或录像带演示以及在万维网上的传播将被进行，以激励较低水平的工程专业学生，并影响该地区的大学预科学生（其中大多数是西班牙裔）学习工程。 最后，这个项目作为一个改进的动态系统和控制模型，为其他学校。
