Classroom Content: Control Theory

Free content for an introductory course in Control Design

This collection of MapleSim and Maple classroom materials makes it easy to bring modern technology to any introductory course in control design. With interactive classroom demonstrations that illustrate key concepts in a highly visual way; engaging lab projects and assignment questions; and example models ready to be explored, this material enriches lectures, makes lab problems more concrete, and deepens understanding.

Although designed primarily for instructor use in a classroom or lab setting, students working independently will also find this material useful to improve their understanding of control design.
