I see space travel is given as THE example of field using control engineering, this could mislead the reader into seeing this as an advanced technology that has no everyday application. The presence of the photo could even give the illusion that it is a space-related article. In fact almost any consuler appliance/vehicle is using feedback loops (I know everyone editing this article is well aware of that, but not your average reader). I try to rephrase the example.-- Corentinoger ( talk) 10:38, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
I see using control engineering as a tool for designing an ion-plasma engine as a means of common auto engine to replace our antiquated OIL based engines. This would solve our OIL dependency, and whomever does this will be an instant world HERO.

Agreed. I think a simple refrigerator or Air Conditioner example is much more applicable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.121.201.254 ( talk) 20:07, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
This is true, but it's a much more exciting example. Maybe the addition of photos of refrigerators and A/C units to show the broad field of applications would suffice. LaPlancha ( talk) 22:41, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
Given that 'Control Engineering' is generally known as Control Theory, on which there is already an article, does this page really serve a purpose, or might it be better to simply redirect to Control Theory? Jenesis 21:16, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
The section See also appears to be unordered to me. I propose to organise it either aplhabetically, or to structure it according to control design, analysis, applications, etc. I would do this but would like to see your opinion first. Jan Richter 17:52, 13.10.2006 (UTC)
Do any of those links to university departments belong here per WP:EL, or should they be considered spam? Pan Dan 16:53, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
In the sentence:
"Therefore, at the design stage either digital components are mapped into the continuous domain and the design is carried out in the continuous domain, or analogue components are mapped in to discrete domain and design is carried out there."
Shouldn't it be:
"Therefore, at the design stage either ANALOG components are mapped into the continuous domain and the design is carried out in the continuous domain, or DIGITAL components are mapped in to discrete domain and design is carried out there." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.171.110.233 ( talk) 21:56, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
The descriptions of modern and classical control theory, in the section "Control theory", conflict with the descriptions in the main article about "Control theory". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.155.63.22 ( talk) 10:14, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
This section is out of place. Please remove or merge it into the other sections Anonimous comment in article moved to talk page by user:KKoolstra
Based on a suggestion from User A1, I would recommend creating a section in this article entitled, "Control Engineering Software" and linking this section to a List of Control Software. There are many software packages in this area of engineering and listing them in the See Also section seems out of place. Mduench ( talk) 16:25, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Control engineering. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

There it is again. The word 'process' being used when introducing the topic of control systems or control engineering. It is not even defined. In fact, it is rare to see any control engineering text book define 'process'. Before anybody even begins to explain control systems or control engineering, the word 'process' needs to be made clear - in terms of controlling a 'process'. That is ----- on the control system side of things, what exactly is a 'process'? KorgBoy ( talk) 18:10, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
The " Careers" section seems problematic. Its education requirements, pay rates, and links are all US-centric; some are explicitly so, and I've inferred the others to be as well. Also, information on job opportunities is likely to become quickly dated and does not seem encyclopaedic to me anyway.
Any thoughts on how we can improve this section, or whether it should be dropped? Is there a policy on careers information? (All I can find are articles about careers, and info on editing Wikipedia as part of one's job.) -- Perey ( talk) 04:27, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
