Control Systems
Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental)
Control systems are engineered arrangements of components that manage, command, direct, or regulate the behavior of other devices or systems, typically using feedback loops to maintain a desired output despite disturbances. They range from simple mechanical governors to complex digital systems like PLCs and SCADA used in manufacturing, power plants, aerospace, and robotics. Control systems engineers design and analyze these systems using principles of control theory to ensure stability, accuracy, and responsiveness.
