Control plays an essential role in many vital areas including medicine, medical services delivery, biotechnology, space exploration, robotics, transportation, and manufacturing. With its emphasis on automation, complex feedback systems analysis and design, and a wide range of hardware, students frequently find control a strategic area of study as a starting point for many application areas.
As an ECE student, you can use your required courses and technical electives to obtain an emphasis in control.
Required courses in systems that directly relate to Control:
ECE 351 Systems I
ECE 352 Systems II
Suggested technical electives in both electrical engineering specialization and computer engineering specialization:
(ECE 551 and ECE 557 are fundamental courses and they should be taken before the other electives.)
ECE 551 Introduction to Feedback Control Systems
ECE 557 Control, Signals, and Systems Laboratory
ECE 650 Introduction to Estimation
ECE 750 Linear System Theory
ECE 752 Feedback Control Systems
ECE 753.01 Powertrain Control
ECE 753.02 Autonomy in Vehicles
ECE 754 Nonlinear Systems
ECE 755 Digital Control Systems
ECE 759 Numerical Optimization for Electrical Engineers
ECE 763 Introduction to Real-Time Robotics Systems
ECE 757 Control Interfacing and Design Laboratory
ECE 758 Control System Implementation Laboratory
