    Frequently Asked Questions about Control Systems

    A control system is a system that manages or directs other systems or devices. These systems combine various elements with the goal of reaching a desired outcome. Control systems can be simple or complex. When you set up a control system, you know what you want that control system to do, and you design and expect that system to achieve that same result every time. You interact with control systems in your daily life. The thermostat that controls the heating and air conditioning in your home or office is a control system with the goal of keeping your rooms at a desired temperature. The anti-lock braking system in your car is another control system that works to optimize your brakes in various conditions.‎

    The most common career path for you if you have a background in control systems is control systems engineer. Control systems engineers work in manufacturing, analyzing and improving production lines. They also develop automation systems that free up humans to do other jobs. You'll also find control systems engineers in the aerospace and construction industries, as well as project manager positions in various sectors. You can aim for systems engineering jobs in the information technology field too, where knowledge of control systems allows you to understand complex computing networks.‎

    Online courses on Coursera about control systems offer you a wide range of subjects, from survey courses that help you learn the basics to more advanced topics like information security, cloud data management, and learning specific brands of software.
