Master of Applied Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering - Systems and Controls

In the field of Control, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems, we focus on ensuring that physical systems perform as desired through the application of advanced feedback control techniques. A prime example is the autopilot system in aircraft, which continuously adjusts to maintain optimal speed, altitude, and direction. At its core, feedback control is a fundamental concept in engineering, empowering systems to achieve peak performance and reliability. Control systems are essential to modern industries, from automated manufacturing and robotics to aerospace and chemical processing. As our world becomes increasingly digital, the role of control systems continues to expand, driving innovation across diverse sectors. Our research in Control, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems spans a wide range of topics, including linear and nonlinear control, networked and distributed control, adaptive and robust control, autonomous systems, stochastic algorithms, and discrete event systems. These principles fuel groundbreaking applications in robotics, smart power grids, computer networks, autonomous vehicles, multi-agent systems, environmental monitoring, transportation networks, and even psychological systems.
