This Companion Website (CW) has been created to supplement study and teaching from the classic, best-selling textbook Modern Control Systems, 9/e by Richard Dorf and Robert Bishop.

The CW contains resources for both students and instructors.

These resources include:

A virtual online Study Guide for students, with a wide variety of extra problems and practice exams (with solutions) developed to mirror the contents of the book, and help students develop effective problem-solving strategies. This online study guide is interactive, and provides immediate feedback to students. Problems include:

- Matching: Intended to help students master new terminology introduced in the book

- True/False: Intended to ask students to think conceptually about the material presented

- Multiple/Choice: Intended to provide students with extra practice on a wide array of problems.
MATLAB and Simulink m-files for all examples in the text. Students can download these in multiple formats and use them to aid their use of MATLAB and Simulink.
Every Figure (over 800 of them) from the book available in downloadable PDF format for use as lecture transparencies.
"Destinations" links to resources on the www for further study, or to visit projects/corporations that utilize control systems in their products.
An up-to-date "Errata" section where corrections will be posted.

More resources will be added to the website on an ongoing basis, making this a dynamic site to enhance learning. Check in often!
