This paper presents student-initiated projects as part of a control systems course for senior-level electronics engineering technology (EET) students. Student outcomes and associated assessment methodologies as well as general project management concepts are discussed. Two recently completed control system design projects are reported in this paper: an automatic guitar tuner, and a ball balancing on a plate. Both projects focused on control system design and implementation, encompassing sensors and actuators, interface electronics, hardware and software integration, and control logic implementation in software (LabVIEW or Arduino). These end-of-semester course projects were carried out during the final four weeks of the semester, preceded by ten weeks of structured lecture/laboratory session.
