What kind of courses do Systems and Control majors take?
Required courses include topics such as Engineering Optimization, Computer Simulation, Systems Modeling, Control Systems Design and Analysis, Signal Analysis, Decision Theory and Engineering Economics, as well as advanced mathematics and statistics courses. Students take courses from other engineering departments as well. There are three elective sequence options within the major: • Control Systems – automation, control, and signal processing, with electives in robotics and machine intelligence. • Systems Analysis – modelling, optimization, decision making and computer simulation, with electives in operations research and management. • Manufacturing and Industrial Systems – production and manufacturing systems, with electives in management and automation. In addition to course work, there are “hands on” laboratory courses as well as computer-based laboratory experiences. The senior year includes design projects where students apply what they have learned in course work in a team and in
