What is Control engineering: Definition and 55 Discussions
Control engineering or control systems engineering is an engineering discipline that applies control theory to design equipment and systems with desired behaviors in control environments. The discipline of controls overlaps and is usually taught along with electrical engineering and mechanical engineering at many institutions around the world.The practice uses sensors and detectors to measure the output performance of the process being controlled; these measurements are used to provide corrective feedback helping to achieve the desired performance. Systems designed to perform without requiring human input are called automatic control systems (such as cruise control for regulating the speed of a car). Multi-disciplinary in nature, control systems engineering activities focus on implementation of control systems mainly derived by mathematical modeling of a diverse range of systems.

hi everyone I've jst started a control unit at college and i hope some one can help me out with this question?
Explain the effect of load variation on open and closed loop control systems. State the purpose of each stage and clearly show the direction of information flow. Explain the effects...
hi everyone,
I have recently started studying abvout control engineering, but am not getting a grasp on the basic idea behind controls. All the textbooks say that the output should track the input ideally , but why is it so? i.e if i give a step input to a system, the response should ideally...
Ok, so I have an assignment I need help with. Hopefully some of you here will be able to help me with it.
The Question is shown in the attatched files question2a + question2a2.
I think what I need to do first is represent the system in a block diagram. I have included a rough one of what I...
Hi all!
I started my first control engineering course this semester. There are some terms that confused me.
I am now learning closed-loop systems. And the lecturer was discussing the reduced sensiticity to process disturbance and load variation of a closed-loop system when compared to a...
