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 + Sense) Develop microcontroller basics, build simple breadboard circuits and explore measurement.

ACE-Lab (Actuate) Adds actuators to ACE-Lab (Base + Sense) for complete closed-loop control-system design and testing.

Explore the Rigs Background and Exercises

ACE-Lab Workshops

Free, hands-on 2026 sessions using MATLAB, Simulink and portable ACE-Lab hardware to move from engineering requirements through controller design, implementation, testing and validation on a real system.

Who it is for

Educators, researchers, industry professionals, recent graduates and students interested in practical control engineering and Model-Based Design.
