What is Control and Automation Engineering?

In its broadest meaning, control and automation engineering aims to solve the issue of forcing a system to the desired state using the proper software and hardware. After the industrial revolution, various problems resulting from the quick rise in output with the rapidly advancing technology compel individuals to look for new sources of income. Control and automation engineering is a new field of engineering that has emerged due to the use of data from research in industry and other production systems.?


Electrical, electronic, mechanical, and computer-based industrial systems are all supported by the control and automation engineering discipline, which creates and applies information and technology to enable them to function as intended and planned. The Control Engineering Program offers instruction and conducts research in "industrial automation, measurement and instrumentation, robotics, and the design and implementation of computer-based industrial information systems," as well as "automatic control theory and its applications."


Research Subjects


The industry is expected to provide more affordable, high-quality, and perfect goods. Automation cannot currently be regarded separately from industrial applications since fulfilling this need cannot be done using traditional production techniques based on humans. There is a constant need for control and automation engineers with expertise and understanding in control system design, process control, and issue solutions. In addition, the growing construction industry and technological advancements have made intelligent buildings a crucial aspect of our lives. Control and automation engineers frequently work in the field of building automation. Control and automation engineering applications include the construction of automatic pilots to enable unmanned ground and air aircraft to follow the specified trajectory. Satellite launches have started depending on the state of the aviation and aerospace industries.


?Autonomy has therefore been highlighted. It has begun to be replaced by these innovations in the aviation and aerospace industries as well as in other areas of control. Control engineering has several applications, including the position, velocity, and acceleration control of avionic systems in three dimensions and the design of autopilot systems using measurements like cabin pressure, travel time, and motor velocity. Modern medical and technical advancements are starting to converge to form new working environments. Surgical robots and bionic arms are two prominent examples of these advancements. Both the feedback control mechanisms in the human body and the mechanical systems that take the place of human organs are remarkably similar.
