31 Dec 2009	MathWorks Classroom Resources Team	"Implementing a Remote Laboratory Experience into a Joint Engineering Degree Program: Aerodynamic Levitation of a Beach Ball", by Shaphan R. Jernigan, Yusef Fahmy, and Gregory D. Buckner. IEEE Transactions on Education, Volume 52, Issue 2, May 2009, pp. 205-213. The article describes how xPC Target and Simulink were used to implement a remote laboratory for a Control Systems course. These tools enabled the distance students to: * Develop the plant and controller for a beach-ball-and-blower system * Test the controller with hardware in the remote laboratory * View and adjust controller performance in real time The article is freely downloadable with a MathWorks account.
