In this paper, we explored the exciting field of Mechatronics Education, specifically focusing on motion control. The Elevator Model served as an excellent platform for students and educators to understand complex mechatronics concepts through practical applications. The openness of the framework encourages collaboration and exploration, enabling a deeper comprehension of motion control and its real-world implications.

This nomination for the award is even more rewarding as two of my talented students, Martin Økter and Tine Eie, were involved in this work.

I finally want to acknowledge the wider community's support and encouragement for this work.
