Feedback Control Systems: Course Description
The Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT in Cambridge, MA, offers OpenCourseWare exploring feedback control techniques. The course teaches techniques to adaptively change the operation of devices in response to changes in external conditions because there of feedback between the controller and the external environment. Students learn how such controls play a role in a large variety of engineering applications, from controlling large industrial processes, such as chemical plants to controlling the motion of airplanes. Students learn how to consider the effectiveness of controls and their stability to random perturbations. Engineering professor Dr. Jonathan How teaches this course. Students must have an understanding of the MATLAB software package.
This OpenCourseWare includes a syllabus, required reading list, lecture notes, lab instructions and assignments. Those interested in this free course should visit the Feedback Control Systems course page.
