Learning outcomes

By the end of the lab, the student has acquired numerical simulation tools and knows how to apply them to the study of simple dynamic systems, with particular emphasis toward DC motors. He has also experimented on DC motors with the development of simple feedback controls in the presence of variable references and loads.
