Before it emerged as a unique discipline, control engineering was practiced as a part of mechanical engineering and control theory was studied as a part of electrical engineering, since electrical circuits can often be easily described using control theory techniques.

Control engineering is the engineering discipline that focuses on the modeling of a diverse range of dynamic systems ( e. g. mechanical systems ) and the design of controllers that will cause these systems to behave in the desired manner.

As a result, focus is shifting back to the mechanical engineering discipline, as intimate knowledge of the physical system being controlled is often desired.
