Bachelor in Control and Automation Engineering

Control and Automation Engineering focuses on designing systems that regulate and automate the behavior of machines, processes, and industrial equipment. Typical coursework includes control theory, electrical circuits, signal processing, robotics, programmable logic controllers, and industrial automation systems, along with mathematics and computer programming. Students learn to design feedback control systems, model dynamic processes, and program automated systems used in manufacturing, robotics, and process industries. Laboratory work often involves building and testing control circuits, working with sensors and actuators, and programming automation hardware. The field draws on electrical engineering, mechanical systems, and computer science to keep complex processes operating reliably and efficiently. Graduates pursue careers in manufacturing automation, robotics, process control, and industrial engineering, working for companies in automotive, energy, and heavy industry sectors, and many continue into graduate study in control systems or electrical engineering. This 4 year bachelor's program is offered by Yıldız Technical University in İstanbul, Turkey, with instruction in English, connecting students to international standards and literature in control engineering. İstanbul's diverse manufacturing and industrial base offers a relevant environment for studying automation systems in practice. Over four years, students typically progress from foundational mathematics, physics, and circuits courses toward specialized control theory and automation coursework, often supported by laboratory projects and internships. The program aims to prepare graduates for roles designing and maintaining the automated systems that underpin modern industry.
