*****PROJECTS #5, #6, and #7,
with TWO Tasks,
1. FIRST: Please review/study the SOFTWARE that is “available” in ECE-LRC
for “Control Systems Analysis and Design.”

2. SECOND: Write a "brief"/”white paper”/”capability statement”
for each of the three SOFTWARE tools listed (BELOW)
Include statements describing the tools, functions, examples, designs, case studies, etc.
Also, what documentation is available? (manuals, tutorials, demos?)

What about “remote login”?;
or web-based “interactive” programs or websites?
How about using ...
...Web-Based Interactive calculations.

Project 5: NI LabVIEW “Control Systems Toolkit”;

Project 6: MathWorks MatLab “Control Systems Toolbox”;
Also, describe “similar” matrix-based software (such as Octave) that is
available in the ECE-LRC.

Project 7: NI ELVIS used for control systems.

Let's discuss these projects/reports/etc.
(Let's agree on a time-schedule; when they will be due, etc.)

The major objective of these projects is to determine the capability of the
SOFTWARE tools for Control Systems that is currently available in
ECE-LRC. We need to know what is available, what are the limitations, what needs
to be purchased, etc.
