ECE4510/ECE5510, INTRODUCTION TO FEEDBACK CONTROL 1–12
1.4: Examples of senior-design/MSEE controls topics
!
As we conclude this chapter of notes, we consider how you might
benefit from learning about control systems in your educational
journey.
!
The thermostat example seems pretty “low tech,” but recently the Nest
Learning Thermostat has made quite a splash in the tech industry.
!
Control-system design is an integral component to a lot of innovation,
and is very often a basic element of senior-design projects and MSEE
thesis topics.
