Abstract
In system control education, laboratory experiments on real equipments largely contribute to developing practical skills. We have been improving a laboratory course for DC motor control using ScicosLab. ScicosLab is a freeware platform for numerical computation with block diagram modeler/simulator. Using the ScicosLab graphical user interface, students can easily operate a real closed-loop system which consists of a DC motor and its driver, an analog data acquisition device and a personal computer running ScicosLab. This paper describes a brief overview of the laboratory course, improvements for the last semester and results of student questionnaire.
