Teaching Dynamics and Control with Arduino Based TCLab

MathWorks Special Session at the 59th Conference on Decision and Control Guest speaker: John D. Hedengren, Chemical Engineering, Brigham Young University The small, inexpensive, and take-home temperature control lab (TCLab) reinforces process dynamics and control theory with real data. A 2015 NSF-sponsored report “Chemical Engineering Academia-Industry Alignment: Expectations about New Graduates” identifies a strong industrial need for practical understanding of process control and system dynamics.
