In teaching laboratory-based courses, consumable materials and equipment are necessary. The required consumable materials and equipment makes engineering education into an expensive form of education with higher tuition fees than social education. Therefore, the lower the budget for consumable materials and equipment, the cheaper will be the tuition fees. Present laboratory experimental equipment to teach control systems for electronics engineering students can be acquired at a lower cost than by buying ready-to-use equipment. Benchtop hardware consists of a circuit used to provide students with low-cost, practical hardware, while simulation using spreadsheets is used to model the system, which includes theoretical prediction and non-ideal features of the control system. © 2017 WIETE.
