- Preface & Overview This website
documents the ActivLab laboratory projects for 2.003 Modeling Dynamics and Control I at MIT. The ActivLab projects were created by Prof. David Trumper and other staff for the course. The links below provide more information about each laboratory project, including summaries of the activities and goals of each and typical prelab and laboratory assignments we have asked the students to complete. For the most recent versions of each of the laboratory assignments, please follow the link below: Current 2.003 Laboratory Homepage |
