Systems and control engineers are the people who "put things together" to make systems do what they want them to do. In complicated devices, such as automobile anti-lock braking systems, aircraft flight controllers, robotic manufacturing assembly lines, rate-adaptive pacemakers, multimedia computer-communication systems and advanced petrochemical refineries, the skills and talents of mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, chemical engineers, metallurgists, and computer engineers are often required . But it is the systems and control engineers who put all of the component subsystems together, to coordinate and integrate the efforts of different specialists. Systems and control engineers are trained in the skills and tools that bring together the efforts of several engineering fields, to make things work efficiently and well - to make things happen!
