Educators teach controls with MATLAB and Simulink by drawing on available course modules, onramp tutorials, and code examples.

Appsprovided withControl System Toolbox让用户交互式地设计和分析控制systems as well as graphically tune PID controllers and lead/lag compensators using root locus, Bode diagrams, and Nichols charts. Educators can useMATLAB live scriptsto create lectures that combine explanatory text, mathematical equations, code, and results.Live Editor tasksthat can be inserted into live scripts let students perform control design tasks, such as tuning PID controllers, interactively.

Below is a sampling of course curricula, textbooks, educational videos, code examples, online labs, and additional tools for teaching controls with MATLAB and Simulink.
