Popis: This paper presents an overview of the South African control systems landscape. It focuses on control engineering taught at universities and practiced in industry in South Africa and was compiled in the wake of the IFAC world congress 2014 in Cape Town. A background of engineering education in South Africa and control engineering in particular is presented. Two surveys were conducted among control engineering professionals: The first survey covers control engineering courses offered at South African universities at electrical, chemical and mechanical engineering departments. The second survey investigates control engineering in the workplace. A gap analysis maps industry expectations and university offerings.
