<p>Could someone explain what goes on in mechanical/electrical "control" classes? The course descriptions include many complex terms that are really hard to understand.</p>
<ul>
<li>Do the courses include mostly the mathematical modeling of physical systems, and then working with those models to predict what will happen when you act on the system?</li>
<li>Do the courses include mostly programming to control systems?</li>
<li>Do the courses include mostly physical characteristics, attributes, or systems that control other systems ("Doorstop" halts a door, and "knob" opens door)?</li>
<li>All/Other?</li>
</ul>
<p>Thanks,
Nukewarm</p>
