Outline What Is Controls? Job Opportunities ASU EE Controls Classes ASU EE Controls Faculty Graduate School Summary

What Is Controls? r eu didi dodo K P n y Controller Plant Design K s.t. closed loop system exhibits high performance. - P : Physical System to be Controlled - K : System to be Designed actual outputdesired output controlerror sensor noise disturbances

Example: Vehicle Cruise Control P - Vehicle r - Speed reference command (desired speed) y - Actual speed u - Fuel flow to engine K - Controller

Acoustic - acoustic cancellation for a concert hall; intelligent hearing devices Aerospace - altitude hold system for aircraft; all- weather landing system; control of remotely piloted vehicles; launch vehicles Automation and Manufacturing - navigation system for an autonomous robot (e.g. pathfinder) Biological - neuromuscoloskeletal control systems; cardiovascular control systems What Needs To Be Controlled?

Capital Investment - variable risk securities portfolio risk/return; asset management Defense - high performance fighters; tactical missiles; ballistic missile theatre defense; guidance and navigation; attack helicopters Electrical - diffusion furnaces; semiconductor processes; read/write head control for optical storage Mechanical - active suspension for mobile laboratory Materials - control of smart composite (deformable) materials

What Needs To Be Controlled? Medicine - control of telemedical robotic systems for precision surgery Nuclear - temperature control for nuclear reactor Ocean - depth control for underwater exploration vehicle; submarine Space Based Surveillance - pointing control system for telescopic imaging, weather, surveillance, monitoring system; satellites Structural - active earthquake control for skyscrapers

Pretty Amazing List! Does the list help you understand what control engineers do?
