- This is Episode 1 in an 8-part introduction series to the field of controls and automation engineering. Since this is a fairly niche engineering field which I work in, it seems like a great opportunity to share some cool info about the industry!
The PowerPoint used in this lesson is available here: github.com/plemaster01/Contro...

Yes, finally, I've been searching for an intro video like this. As a Mechatronics Engineering student, I've developed inters in this field of automation and controls, and this video has enlightened me more. Thanks a bunch
You’re super welcome thanks for watching and I’m glad you found it useful!
Amazing video, will keep around for the whole series!
Thanks Antonio! I think I’m making the rest of the series more hands on with actual hardware and example projects since some of my friends said they thought just me talking with a PowerPoint background wasn’t as effective as practical projects :)
Thank you as always for sharing your knowledge and advice. Just recently signed up to work towards a computer science degree!
That’s awesome! And you’re super welcome thanks for watching and for your support Phillip! Goodluck with your computer science degree that’s an awesome field to get into 😁😁
excited to be here! thanks for the lessons
You’re super welcome! Thanks for watching!
I do this for my career. Union engineer local 495💪🏽
This video was a very helpful!! Thank you!!
You’re very welcome thank you for watching!!
Sounds interesting, will be watching 😎
Thanks flio 😁 it’s a pretty cool field of engineering 😎
Thank you)
You’re super welcome thank you for watching!!
I'd love to study a focused Automation and Control Systems Engineering as I don't think I'd ever career change into Mechanical Engineering but could transition to Software or Computer Engineering what do you think about that?
I think controls and automation is a good field for someone who wants to be exposed to a lot of different fields and gives a good opportunity to specialize within it! I do mostly electrical work and software work, with just a little bit of mechanical work and a fair bit of robotics as well so it’s definitely a decent idea!
@lemastertech Thank you very much I really appreciate your response
I have an associates degree in Electrical Engineering, I had one class about controls engineering and absolutely loved it ( ladder logic was so fun) and really want to get back into it, is there anything at home I can do to boost my skills and get a refresher? Also what jobs descriptions should I look out for?
Hey! There are a few different ways to jump back into controls for free and pretty cheap, in my opinion learning to program using like python or c++ or c# (which is free) and learning to build projects using arduino and hobby electronics type stuff (which is pretty cheap) is awesome for building foundational skills with a ton of overlap, but if you want to use an actual PLC I think maybe the cheapest one is actually the arduino opta? amzn.to/3xNnim9
They make an arduino PLC ide software that’s completely free you can practice ladder logic in! You could also look into Ignition for makers, which is a free version of an industrial scada software you could make HMI displays with! Hope this helps :)
@@lemastertech Thank you so much!!
You got it! Good luck 😊
when are the next episodes going to be?
I am trying to do one of these every 2-3 weeks!
You said about salary . Is it for month or for year
Salary is for the year
Hi, where a comple course is available ?
Complete
Hi I am still working on the next controls and automation episodes so I am hoping to keep them coming out fairly regularly over the next few months but I’m quite busy currently with my day job as well so hopefully soon!!
@@lemastertech thanks for updates and very useful & comprehensive information. Awaiting next episodes👍
what major should I go in university for this?
I’d suggest electrical engineering with some computer science and mechanical engineering electives, or possibly a mechatronics degree if your university has that! Computer science /software engineering is a good one too but often that lacks the practical electrical training you’d want! Most companies just want a motivated engineer with some of the necessary skills to be honest :)
i'm learn automation & robotic Engineering, is similar?
That’s very similar! Some industries use a lot of automation and not a ton of robotics like chemicals and oil and gas but some industries use both a ton! Very similar fields!!
Where’s the rest of the series? 🥲
I did part 2 on the hardware Introduction to Controls and Automation Engineering Hardware!

And I am working on a few more still! I tweaked the format a little!
