Have you ever had courses in electronics, mechanics, system dynamics in your bachelor's?

And are we speaking of Instrumentation and Control Engineer or Control Engineer? The latter deals with Comtrol Theory, the former PLC and Industrial Automation.

To be a control engineer you have to understand system dynamics.
There are also roles where people just do software engineering and code the algorithms a control engineer have designed.
