Purdue Control Modules (PCM) are introduced as a set of programs written in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment, which are meant to be used in the instruction of an undergraduate course on process dynamics and control. The modules are based on fundamental process models of industrial unit operations (distillation column and heated‐tube furnace), and incorporate a realistic graphical user interface to emulate an industrial control environment. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
