SCOPE:
 The symposium will contain two types of sessions: regular
sessions and a Control Education Competition.
 The topics of the regular sessions will include:
  1)Teaching Aids for Control Theory
  2)Computer Aided Instruction and Systems
  3)Control Laboratory Experiments
  4)Efficient Ways to Teach Control Theory
  5)Continuing Control Education in Industry
  6)International between Industries and Universities
  7)International Cooperation for Control Education
and other subjects related to control education. Two or three
invited sessions are organized for special topics.

 This is the first time to have a Control Education Competition 
at the symposium. The theme is
	"Education Demonstration for Control Theory."
The object is to draw attention to experimental apparatus that
demonstrates the effectiveness and usefulness of control theory.
This will help students and control engineers to recognize and
understand control theory.
 Prospective applicants should submit a paper describing the 
experimental apparatus combined with a 5 -8 minute self-contained 
video tape (NTSC VHS) for the demonstration. The tape should show
the effectiveness of the developed equipment and/or the power of 
the considered control theory. Selected papers for the competition 
will be presented at the Control Education Competition Committee
w/a $1,000 award given at the symposium.

CONFERENCE CITE:
 The symposium will be held at Kogakuin University, Shinjuku,
Tokyo on August 1 - 2, 1994.
