Introduction
Control systems for complex systems with physically distributed components interconnected by industrial networks, such as processing plants, manufacturing processes, aerospace vehicles, and power plants, are themselves very complex Notions of “control” are expanding from the traditional loop-control concept to include such other functionalities as supervision, coordination and planning, situation awareness, diagnostics and optimization [1]. Control systems synergistically combine engineering design (also called industrial engineering), mechanics, electronics, electrical and computer technologies among others. Therefore, engineers are required to work in teams, generally composed of individuals with very diverse backgrounds and experiences. Supporters of engineering education have recognized the need to integrate teamwork more fully and formally into an undergraduate education to provide students with an experience that serves as a transition from academic to professional life [2].
