Control Engineering and Management Systems

Abstract: The current preoccupation with management information and control systems suggests an important new field of application now open to control engineers. Their practical experience in the design of complex systems over many years surely qualifies them to make a useful contribution. Most so-called management systems are still not much more than adaptations of traditional practices developed round organisational functions or narrow disciplinary approaches. True management systems imply the need for overall control, and demand specialised design procedures which cut across functional and disciplinary barriers. A brief consideration of some of the individual approaches in the field, however, will illustrate the difficulty in reaching a consensus even on basic principles.

Engineering design problems

Abstract: What is Engineering Design? | LinkEngineering Students walk through two real-life at-school “problems” that are solved by using the engineering design process—teacher desk/homework organization and student locker organization. Doing this prepares students to identify and solve their own real-world engineering challenges to everyday problems at home, school and in the community—including an optional provided open-ended, project ...
