Controls/Fall 2016

For the Fall 2016 semester, ECE 382 and ME 344 will be taught as one course.

ECE 382 is an elective concentration course in Linear Controls for students planning to earn a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Degree with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University. It is a part of the Signal Processing, Communication, and Controls group.

ME 344 is a required course on Control Systems for students planning to earn a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Degree with the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at Duke University.

This page is meant to provide answers to general questions about the course, not necessarily specific questions about content. There are also Category:ECE 382 and Category:ME 344 links that will list all pages relevant to the two courses. Note at the bottom of this page that it is a member of that category.
