Line 8: ==Overview== Modern day control engineering is a relatively new field of study that gained significant attention during the 20th century with the advancement of technology. It can be broadly defined or classified as practical application of [[control theory]]. Control engineering plays an essential role in a wide range of control systems, from simple household washing machines to high-performance [[~~F-16]]~~ fighter aircraft]]. It seeks to understand physical systems, using mathematical modelling, in terms of inputs, outputs and various components with different behaviors; to use control system design tools to develop [[Controller (control theory)\|controller]]s for those systems; and to implement controllers in physical systems employing available technology. A [[control system\|system]] can be [[mechanical engineering\|mechanical]], [[electrical engineering\|electrical]], [[fluid]], [[chemical]], [[finance\|financial]] or [[biology\|biological]], and its mathematical modelling, analysis and controller design uses [[control theory]] in one or many of the [[Time ___domain\|time]], [[frequency ___domain\|frequency]] and [[S ___domain\|complex-s]] domains, depending on the nature of the design problem. Control engineering is the engineering [[discipline]] that focuses on the [[mathematical model\|modeling]] of a diverse range of [[dynamic systems]] (e.g. [[mechanics\|mechanical]] [[system]]s) and the design of [[controller (control theory)\|controller]]s that will cause these systems to behave in the desired manner. Although such controllers need not be electrical, many are and hence control engineering is often viewed as a subfield of electrical engineering. Line 42: == Careers == {{Globalize \|section \|United States \|date=April 2023 \|discuss=Talk:Control engineering#"Careers" section}} A control engineer's career starts with a bachelor's degree and can continue through the college process. Control engineer degrees are well paired with an electrical or mechanical engineering degree. Control engineers usually get jobs in technical managing where they typically lead interdisciplinary projects. There are many job opportunities in aerospace companies, manufacturing companies, automobile companies, power companies, and government agencies. Some places that hire Control Engineers include companies such as Rockwell Automation, NASA, Ford, and Goodrich.<ref>{{Cite web\|url=http://engineering.case.edu/eecs/node/213\|title=Systems & Control Engineering FAQ {{!}} Computer and Data Science/Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering\|date=2015-11-20\|website=engineering.case.edu\|language=en\|access-date=2019-10-30}}</ref> Control Engineers can possibly earn $66k annually from Lockheed Martin Corp.
