| Popis: | Contribution: This article presents a teaching experiment platform for an undergraduate laboratory program designed to fulfill the needs of control engineering classroom experiment teaching. The teaching experiment platform is a cost-effective teaching tool that can be promoted on a large scale in colleges and universities. The teaching experiment platform is a portable device that breaks through the limitations of the time and place of experiments. The platform can be used for many courses, which helps students combine theory with practice. Background: 1) Undergraduate programs usually follow traditional educational methods, which lead to students often unable to connect knowledge learned in class to actual situations;2) the price of existing experimental devices is far beyond the affordability of students and teachers;and 3) most undergraduate students have to learn at home due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Therefore, students need a kind of cost-effective take-home teaching experiment platform, which can enable them to do experiments at home and improved the learning efficiency. Intended Outcomes: The teaching experimental platform gives the students out of the classroom more time to analyze the results of the experiment and to relate the concepts presented in the lecture course to the results of the experiment. With the aid of the platform, students can achieve the learning objectives, significantly improve interactivity in the classroom and fulfill the ABET requirement. Application Design: The course of Principle of Automatic Control taught at the Hunan University is given as a case study in which the evaluation process was based on the corresponding student outcomes and ABET criteria. Findings: The analysis based on positive student feedback as well as their academic grades indicates that the teaching platform presented in this article is an effective learning tool during the learning process of undergraduate students.
