This course covers the basics of modeling, simulations and control of mechanical and electrical systems. The course is divided into 3 main sections:
1. Mechanical systems modeling,
2. Electrical systems modeling
3. Control systems design
Section #1: Mechanical System Modeling
The section covers the basics of how to derive mathematical models from scratch, draw free body diagrams, apply Newton’s laws of motion and simulate mechanical systems using MATLAB/Simulink. This section also covers Laplace domains, transfer function development, and system simulations using several inputs such as impulse and step inputs.
Section #2: Electrical System Modeling
This section covers electrical system modeling fundamentals. It covers how to mathematically model basic elements such as capacitors, resistors and inductors, how to apply Kirchoff’s circuit law to solve various electrical circuit. The section also covers advanced topics such as how to model DC motors, and batteries in MATLAB/Simulink environment.
Section #3: Control systems fundamentals/Design
This section includes the basics of control system and the steps required to build any control system. This section covers one of the most famous controllers known as PID or Proportional Integral Derivative controller. The section includes basics of how to perform block diagram model reduction and how to assess dynamic system performance. Furthermore, the section covers how to perform PID tuning to achieve the best desired system performance.
Who this course is for:
- For students who want to learn system modeling and control systems fundamentals
- For people who want to learn Electrical and Mechanical system simulation fundamentals
- For people who want to learn how to develop control algorithms in MATLAB and Simulink
- For people who want to learn System-level modeling Fundamentals and develop their own Models in MATLAB/Simulink.
- For Complete Programming Beginners.

Mandeep Singh Bhatia –
Its good for introduction to beginners as described
Young Hwan Shin –
Overall, the course is well organized and comprehensive.
This gives you a hand on experience for Simulink, while you have to study on you own to understand math and equations that he uses. And even some explanation is somewhat vague.
Cleber Bozelo De Faveri –
I like the way you explain the subject and making very easy to understand.
Jaydev Bala –
Yes, it’s worth taking this lesson
Anonymized User –
For myself it wasn’t anything new but it can be a good intro or refresher course!
Michael Kelley –
Great instructor! Ryan explains all the material so that it is easy to understand!
Dennis Jagosz –
The course is more or less a merge of the already existing courses: MATLAB/SIMULINK Bible|Go From Zero to Hero! and The Complete MATLAB Computer Programming Bootcamp. So if you have already worked through these two courses, the content in this course will be more likely the same and the exercises will repeat. You are not doing to learn something new.
From the title of the course you would think that some general guidelines and equation framework would be presented, in order to design a controller for the given task when the plant and controller transfer function would be given. But this is not the case in this course.
The approach that is being followed is more a trail and error approach. If you are looking into some fundamental control engineering books you will find more detailed information regarding how to design a controller, which methods (keywords: optimum amount, symmetrical optimum, root locus etc.) can be used, if the transfer function of the plant is given.

Super course! Dr Ryan has done a great job here, best ever explanation of Laplace transforms to help with ordinary diffy equations that i’ve seen. And the ground-up model development is perfect. His enthusiasm and passion for the topics are contagious and it’s a pleasure to be taking this course. Thankyou!

Warayut Machima –
very cost effective course
Andras Pulai –
I think this was interesting.
Learned a lot about modelling and Simulink.
I also used the links in the PPTs to read more.
