Chapter 1 – Introduction to Control Systems

Control theory is a relatively new field in engineering when compared with core topics, such as statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, etc. Early examples of control systems were developed actually before the science was fully understood. For example the fly-ball governor developed by James Watt to control overspeed of his steam engine was developed out of necessity, long before the science of cont...

Introduction to Software Process Improvement

While software now pervades most facets of modern life, its historical problems have not been solved. This report explains why some of these problems have been so difficult for organizations to address and the actions required to address them. It describes the Software Engineering Institute’s (SEI) software process maturity model, how this model can be used to guide software organizations in pr...

Introduction 1 . Introduction to Nanotechnology

A biological system can be exceedingly small. Many of the cells are very tiny, but they are very active; they manufacture various substances; they walk around; they wiggle; and they do all kinds of marvelous things – all on a very small scale. Also, they store information. Consider the possibility that we too can make a thing very small which does what we want – that we can manufacture an objec...
