Control Engineering using Matlab/Simulink

The mathematical content of control engineering makes it a difficult subject when first studied. This

workshop session uses the Matlab software package to solve the maths. The aim is to reinforce the

key principles of control engineering, hopefully without getting lost in the mathematical background.

Matlab is widely used in academia and industry. It is an interactive programming language that can

be used in many ways, including data analysis and visualisation, engineering problem solving and

simulation. Matlab may be used as an interactive tool or as a high level programming language.

Toolboxes are available for specialist fields such as control engineering. Simulink is an extension to

Matlab that provides an iconographic programming environment for the solution of differential
