A Networked Cyber-Physical System Testbed for Undergraduate Education

This paper presents a networked cyber-physical system (CPS) testbed used in an undergraduate course project-based learning activity. The low-cost, portable testbed can be used in wide-ranging activities to include exploration of modeling and simulation, controls, communications, networks, embedded systems, and cyber security. The activity presented focuses on a subset of this list, providing students with an opportunity to demonstrate understanding of course lecture material while working in a small team.
