 This laboratory aims at studying and analyzing various groups of control systems. The second stage experiments are designed to study and analyze the linear control systems in time domain as well as studying the use of the proportional – integral - derivative (PID) controller. Third-year students study the nature of linear or time-varying systems using the frequency and phase domains. The fourth stage experiments are designed to study and analyze different systems that contain some non-measurable variables. In addition, the experiments aim at designing various controllers using the method of field variables that express the system. Other classes, such as Fuzzy Logic and studying system estimator types, are also given in this laboratory within the Engineering Design subject for the fourth-year students. The laboratory provides weekly classes with a total of 16 hours per week and 15 students per class.  

 The laboratory vision is:
1. To make the Control Laboratory within the distinguished and leading laboratories in the field of controlling various electronic systems.
2. To prepare engineering cadres capable of facing various problems and obstacles in the work field and in the control field.
The Laboratory objective is:
1. To provide students with the basics of knowledge in the process of controlling electronic systems and conducting different methods in the control process.
2. To prepare qualified engineers to build modern control algorithms.
