I completed his 3 courses on Control Systems and looking at how good of a teacher he is, i enrolled in this course just to see what else he has to offer. And turns out that it is actually really beneficial in engineering to know how to animate the simulation/hardware outputs. Really is a fun thing to learn and implement. Would recommend this to all engineers.
