What Is Control Engineering?
It is the branch of engineering that develops and applies the knowledge and technologies necessary to ensure that all industrial production systems—including those based on electrical, electronic, mechanical, and computer technologies—operate as intended.
The Control and Automation Engineering (KOM) Department provides education in control theory and applications, industrial automation, measurement and instrumentation, robotics, and the design and application of computer-based information systems.
The Future of Control and Automation Engineering
According to data from the Industrial Automation Manufacturers Association’s “Advanced Technology City” project, regarding control and automation, there is a need to train approximately 8,000 mid-level professionals in control and automation, 12,000 control and automation engineers, and 10,000 new researchers specializing in the field of control and automation.
Why YTÜ KOM?
The aim of the proposed Department of Control and Automation Engineering at our university is to combine control theory—based on advanced engineering fundamentals and the basic sciences—with practical application, while also taking into account our country’s industrial needs; to train engineers with strong practical skills as well as advanced theoretical knowledge. With the establishment of this department and the centers of excellence planned under it, Yıldız Technical University will become a hub of excellence in the field of Control and Automation.
