Free courses

Free control engineering and PID courses with certificate

Control theory with MATLAB and Simulink, free and complete: transfer functions, stability, Bode plots, PID design, state space, LQR, system identification and discrete implementation, with notes, quizzes and an optional verifiable certificate.

Why learn it

Why Control engineering

The PID block, the drive tuning screen and the servo autotune all rest on this theory, and engineers who understand it tune loops in hours instead of days.

Questions

Control engineering: common questions

Is MATLAB free?
MATLAB Online, the student licence and the trial all cover the course.
How much maths do I need?
School algebra and a willingness to plot a step response. The courses use MATLAB and Simulink trials and simulation blocks in TIA Portal so the maths is seen, not only written.
