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
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 😁😁
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 :)
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!
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!!
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 :)
which one would be a better choice if i want to get into this field? MSc in Mechatronics or MSc in Computational Engineering (Automatic Control) I have done my Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering.
I answered your other comment too! But it depends what you want to do - mechatronics is probably better at covering a wide range of automation topics but computational engineering might be better if you’re super interested in robotics!
Hi, honestly every place I have worked so far calls us controls and automation engineers! I think technically control could be limited to safety and interlocking and alerting and alarming, while automation might be more involved in motion of things and removing operators from dangerous or tedious lines of work. But I do not considering them two different fields!
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!!
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 did part 2 on the hardware Introduction to Controls and Automation Engineering Hardware! ruclips.net/video/mVKhympFzVQ/видео.html And I am working on a few more still! I tweaked the format a little!

You’re super welcome thanks for watching and I’m glad you found it useful!
I’m here to stay. Thanks for such an insightful video!
You’re very welcome thank you for watching and for your nice comment!
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 😁😁
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 :)
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 😎

@lemastertech Thank you very much I really appreciate your response
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👍

You got it! Good luck 😊

@@lemastertech Thank you very much for giving me clarity man!
I am going with computational engineering in Automatic control (FAU - Germany )
Thank you)
You’re super welcome thank you for watching!!
I often read about control engineering and automation engineering i see people say they are different? Are they not the same? Whats the difference?
Hi, honestly every place I have worked so far calls us controls and automation engineers! I think technically control could be limited to safety and interlocking and alerting and alarming, while automation might be more involved in motion of things and removing operators from dangerous or tedious lines of work. But I do not considering them two different fields!
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
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!!
what major should I go in university for this?

Where’s the rest of the series? 🥲
