Overview

Delve into topics such as nonlinear control systems, systems biology, and real-time signal processing in our 12 research labs.

Features

Then, in the classroom, build on your systems and control engineering foundation by specializing in your chosen subfield—bioinformatics or databases and data mining, for example.

Our Systems and Control Engineering program at Case Western Reserve University is kept small on purpose so you receive individualized attention without sacrificing the advantages of a larger program—namely, leading-edge equipment and mentorship from renowned faculty researchers.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Our faculty specialize in connected devices and systems, wearables and wireless health, energy systems, and grid modernization—and you’ll work alongside them to carve out a research niche for yourself.

You’ll also take courses on topics such as the structure of materials, thermodynamics of solids, and phase transformations, kinetics, and microstructure.

Our multidisciplinary approach to our curriculum allows you to take electives outside of systems and control engineering to round out your education.
