Abstract(s)

Nowadays new demands are posed to engineering education. Students are becoming more autonomous and curious, which requires the use of new educational platforms to complement theory with practice. A well-designed engineering course should include ways to demonstrate evidence of specific theories, in order to involve students and to dissipate any mistrust that they may have when specific theories are presented. On the other hand, it is important to create sustainable solutions, i.e., low cost solutions that do not produce much waste to the environment. While traditional and/or remote labs can be considered for many situations, there are others where a simple demonstrative platform is enough. It was precisely based on this condition, that a simple PI controller platform was idealized and implemented. This allows a teacher to show the behaviour of a PI controller according to the definition of a set of parameters that will enable the displacement of a pointer with accurate and responsive corrections.
