Recommendations

High Priority

1. Add Mason's Gain Formula question to Core Concepts or Technical Details
2. Add physical system modeling examples - motor models, RLC circuits
3. Consider adding 2-3 more Evaluate/Create level questions for advanced students

Medium Priority

1. Add questions about specific Bode plot construction (first-order, second-order factors)
2. Add question about pole-zero cancellation and when it's dangerous
3. Consider splitting Controller Design into PID and Compensators sections

Low Priority

1. Add more application examples from different engineering domains
2. Consider adding "Further Reading" links to external resources
3. Could add MicroSim references for interactive exploration

Gyra Integration

The FAQ includes 8 references to Gyra, the course mascot:

1. "Who is Gyra?" - dedicated question
2. Several answers reference Gyra's balancing behavior
3. Stability concepts explained through Gyra's experience
4. PID effects illustrated via Gyra's controller

This integration aligns with the textbook's narrative approach and makes abstract concepts more relatable.
