Information for instructors

This page contains information for instructors who want to use Feedback Systems to teach courses on feedback and control. In addition to the links on this page, a set of course syllabus suggestions has been compiled that provides suggestions for how to use the text.

• Lessons learned from teaching out of AM08

Course Organization

Feedback Systems can be used for a wide variety of courses and has been organized to allow different material to be included depending on the audience. Some common configurations (click on the links for a more detailed description):

• 10 week engineering course for seniors/first year grad students
• 15 week engineering course for seniors/first year grad students
• 10 week graduate course for non-majors (state space)
• 15 week graduate course for non-majors

Course Materials

We are assembling lecture materials and homework problems that can be used for courses, in conjunction with the textbook.

• Lecture Index - lectures that go along with topics in the text
• Additional Exercises - list of all exercises on the wiki, organized by chapter
• Solutions Manual - information about the solutions manual for the text

If you have additional materials that you would like to contribute to the wiki, please contact Richard Murray.
