Abstract

Control engineering is one of the areas that has had the greatest impact on our society. Advances in modeling, automation, control and instrumentation have been driven by advances in computing power, artificial intelligence, communication systems, new materials and theoretical developments in dynamic systems and their properties. The applications of these advances have made it possible to increase precision, improve quality and increase the efficiency of many processes. In this context it was created since 1998, at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia – Sede Medellin, the curricular program of Control Engineering seeking to train professionals on a scientific, ethical and humanistic basis, transmitting a critical conscience, allowing them to act responsibly to the requirements and trends of today's world and creatively lead change processes. In this document a description of the evolution of this program and a look towards its future will be made.
