Electrical, Systems, and Control Engineering Program

This program focuses on System Cybernetics, an interdisciplinary field that uses mathematical and information science approaches to solve complex problems in systems that involve human interaction. As modern society relies on increasingly large and intricate systems, understanding and managing their potential for large-scale disruption is crucial. This program aims to develop theories and methods for analyzing these complex systems, integrating various research areas to design better, more human-centric systems for the 21st century. The Electrical, Systems, and Control Engineering Program offers two main courses: Fundamentals of Systems Engineering, which covers the basic theory of system cybernetics, and Applied Cybernetics, which focuses on developing new theories for analyzing, controlling, and designing human-machine systems. Students gain a broad foundation in mathematics, information engineering, and the latest technologies, equipping them to analyze, plan, control, and operate real-world systems from a system cybernetics perspective.
