Learning outcomes
At the end of the laboratory, the student has acquired numerical simulation tools and knows how to apply them to the study of simple dynamical systems, with particular emphasis on direct current motors. The student has also gained hands-on experience with DC motors in developing simple feedback controls in the presence of varying references and loads.
