    Application-Led Control Engineering

    ACE-Lab is built around an application-led learning philosophy that connects theory, practice and engineering judgement to create a more effective control-engineering learning experience.

    ACE-Lab Rigs

    Portable, modular hardware for developing microcontroller, electronics and measurement skills using ACE-Lab (Base + Sense), with actuators added via ACE-Lab (Actuate) for complete closed-loop control-system design.

    ACE-Lab Base and Sense rig
    ACE-Lab (Base + Sense) Develop microcontroller basics, build simple breadboard circuits and explore measurement.
    ACE-Lab Actuate rig
    ACE-Lab (Actuate) Adds actuators to ACE-Lab (Base + Sense) for complete closed-loop control-system design and testing.
