Control Systems Engineering• Theory vs. Practice– Many mathematical details with little physical intuition. – The educational problem arises from the fact that control
is based on two distinct streams of thought. • One stream is physical and discipline-based, because one
must always be controlling something. • The other stream is mathematics-based

Control Curriculum• Introductory courses:
– Based on linear, ODE models, s-plane and Nyquist stability ideas, SISO feedback, PID, lead-lag and pole-placement compensation.
• Core courses:– linear system theory, digital control, optimal control, advanced theory of
feedback, and system identification
• Application-specific courses:– Autopilot control, process control, etc. Also project assignments.

Industry Needs• Depend on: marketplace, company focus, quality,
time versus money, and production• Rely on: teamwork, cultural diversity, worker
expectations, productivity and competition.“Today’s college graduates are of very high quality, but they lack hands-on experience, interpersonal skills, and basic understanding and appreciation of business perspectives beyond their technical specialties”

Industry vs. Schools• Industrial Applications: vehicle control, manufacturing,
automation, environmental control, economic systems, medicine, resource control allocation and management systems
• Hot Industrial Applications: intelligent control, identification/estimation, automation techniques, new CAD tools, and computers in real-time control

Laboratories• Laboratories: school, industry, and research centers– provide the connection between abstract control theory
and the real world• e.g. National Research Council Canada (NRC)
– modeling, identification, simulation, analysis, design and implementation• e.g. MATLAB/Simulink

CACE• Students can progress on their own through tutorials that
accompany the software and examples given in the class• Students usually rediscover the theory thought and
discover the strong link between theory and application. • The shortfalls for relying heavily on CACE software are the
potential ignorance of hidden numerical computation that powers the software

Multimedia System • Merging of three industries: computing,
communication, and broadcasting. – Stand-alone multimedia workstation and associated
software systems and tools, such as music composition, computer-aided learning, and interactive video.
– Combines multimedia computing with distributed systems including multimedia information systems

Multimedia Network• Provide the high bandwidth, low latency, and low
jitter (high speed, high quality)• The multimedia objects are stored at a server and
played back at the clients’ sites– Multimedia networks require a very high transfer rate or
bandwidth, even when the data is compressed

New, Control Engineering Education• Broader education of control engineers and more emphasis
on interdisciplinary teamwork activities (communication) • Closer ties between industry and academia. particularly
with regard to continuing education (distance learning)• Continued novelty in how textbooks in control engineering
blend theory and applications for a computer-based instructional environment (e-book)

New, Control Engineering Education• more discussion among educators on the educational
aspects of teaching controls (networking) • continued sophistication in the laboratory (computer
visualization, interactive and virtual) environment as technology advances rapidly (CACE)
• more programs expected to present newly developed concepts of control in the form of specialized courses (advancing)
