Model Predictive Control (MPC) Fundamentals
Model Predictive Control (MPC) Fundamentals equips automation engineers, process control specialists, and industrial systems engineers with advanced multivariable control design skills to optimize constrained dynamic systems. It solves the critical industry challenge of managing complex, high-value processes under operational limits—where 68% of oil refineries and chemical plants already deploy APC layers. Learners gain hands-on expertise in state estimation, quadratic programming, and stability analysis using MATLAB-based simulations of real-world systems like the Quadruple Tank Process.
This course prepares learners for practical implementation of MPC strategies in modern industrial automation roles. Koenig’s Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and 30-day lab access ensure uninterrupted mastery of optimization techniques, empowering professionals to reduce process upsets by up to 25% and drive efficiency in sectors from aerospace to smart energy grids.

Course Overview
The Model Predictive Control (MPC) Fundamentals course by Open Source is a comprehensive, open-access training program designed to equip learners with the theoretical foundations and practical implementation skills required for advanced multivariable control. While no formal certification exam is tied directly to this open-source curriculum, the course aligns closely with academic and industrial expectations for MPC proficiency, particularly in engineering domains requiring dynamic system optimization. It is tailored for graduate students in chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineering, as well as industrial automation engineers and control systems practitioners. With over 70% of large-scale process industries—including petrochemicals, automotive, and aerospace—adopting MPC for real-time optimization, this course meets a growing industry demand for skilled professionals capable of designing robust, predictive control strategies.
Learners engage with core technologies including MATLAB, Simulink, Control System Toolbox, Optimization Toolbox, System Identification Toolbox, and Reinforcement Learning Toolbox, using them to build and simulate MPC controllers within MATLAB Online or the desktop environment. The hands-on lab component centers on the Quadruple Tank Process, a benchmark multivariable system, where students develop linearized models from nonlinear mechanistic equations, design state estimators using Kalman filters, and implement offset-free MPC under model-plant mismatch conditions. A key project involves configuring a full-state feedback MPC controller with innovation bias correction to achieve stable output tracking despite disturbances. This simulation-based lab environment enables learners to validate controller performance through dynamic closed-loop analysis, reinforcing theoretical concepts with practical application.
Although not vendor-certified, completion of the Model Predictive Control (MPC) Fundamentals course provides critical preparation for advanced roles in process control, robotics, and autonomous systems, fields where MPC expertise can command salaries ranging from $95,000 to $130,000 annually in the U.S. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with 1-on-1 mentoring and Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, ensuring personalized support and consistent access to expert instruction. Graduates gain the capability to design, analyze, and deploy MPC solutions across complex industrial systems, positioning them for leadership roles in next-generation automation and smart manufacturing initiatives.
