Course Offered In Spring 2017

Instructors Prof Madhu Belur, Prof Debraj Chakraborty

Prerequisites EE 302 (in parallel)

Difficulty Moderate mainly due to lots of time spent in calibration and obtaining the desired result.

Course Content Goal of the lab is to gain practical experience about the concepts taught EE302 Control Systems course. The lab had 3 experiments, each 2 week long, with lab on alternate weeks, throughout the semester. A few theory lectures were held as well to supplement the labs.

Feedback on Lab The first experiment was motor control, second was line follower using PID and the third one was inverted pendulum. The theory related to the experiments was covered in a theory lecture the previous week. The experiments were mostly calibration and simple coding. Calibration of the values took up a lot of time. A report was to be submitted post each experiment, and viva was also taken. No exams or quizzes were taken. Grading was based purely on the report, viva and experiment completion.

Feedback on Evaluations The grading was largely dependent on the TA assigned, who graded the viva and report.
