Automation is a discipline that gathers several other areas of knowledge
and synthesizes them in order to achieve its objective: the adequate control of
a certain process.

Although automatic control systems have existed for a large amount of time,
the development of technology since the 50's has allowed an expansion in
the area of influence of automation, to the extreme that practically speaking
the modern world couldn't exist as we know it, without the use of automatic
controllers.

The National Autonomous University of Mexico
(UNAM
for its acronym in Spanish) is the largest and oldest university in Mexico. The Faculty
(School) of Engineering is the oldest in Latin America and has been a leader in almost
every area of Engineering ever since. The
Graduate Division of this Faculty (DEPFI),
with its own buildings and library, is where this
Control Group has its headquarters.
The objectives of the group are the formation of human resources (master and
doctoral level) in the area of control and the development of research projects.

This is the third version of our webpage and we have made a complete change in
appearance but the content is almost the same, in comparison to the second version. Just
a few more sections (projects and links), the image section was updated and we
introduced the English version.
For the design of the page we found many ideas from various places like:
Infinitefish,
Andy Qvicker,
Pixelfoundry,
Sieger Design,
etc.
This page is best view with at least, a resolution of 600x800 (256 colours) with a
browser that support frames (Netscape 3.0, Explorer 3.0 or one of the most recent
version of your favourite browser).
We hope you like the place but if you don't, let us know your point of view. Write us a mail.
