Jose Bejar Cruz JR

JOSE BEJAR CRUZ JR (born April 19, 1974), is
a Puerto Rican baseball coach and former outfielder,

who is the current head baseball coach for the Rice
Owls. He played college baseball at Rice University
from 1992 to 1995 and played in Major League Baseball
(MLB) for 12 seasons from 1997 to 2008.
Jose and his wife Sarah have three children, sons Trei

and Antonio--who followed in their father's footsteps to
play at Rice--and a daughter, Alisa Loren, who attends
SMU. Trei was a three-year standout for the Owls from
2018-20 before being drafted by the Tigers in the third
round of the 2020 MLB Draft
Howard D. Winbigler Chair in Engineering, Department of Electrical Engineering, The

Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio
 BS, 1953, Electrical Engineering, University of the Philippines

 MS, 1956, Electrical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
 PhD, 1959, Electrical Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Jose B. Cruz has compiled an enviable record of accomplishments in engineering research
and education. During his 27 years on the faculty of the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois, he was one of the original founders of the
Allerton Conference on Circuits, Systems, and Computers, served as associate director of
the Coordinated Science Lab, and as associate head of the department. He was chair of the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Irvine,
from 1986 to 1990 and then served as dean of engineering at The Ohio State University. He
retired from the deanship in 1997 and was awarded the first Winbigler Chair in Engineering.
In research, he has made major contributions to the theory and practice of automatic
control. His work in the 1970s and 1980s on the control of leader-follower systems is
still considered one of the major contributions of the half-century in the theory of
hierarchical control systems. Still active in research, he leads a major research effort by a
consortium of four universities and one company, funded by DARPA, to apply his work on
the leader-follower control problem to the design of optimum strategies for human-
automaton resource entity deployment with potential applications in future combat systems.
He was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 1980 and is a Fellow
of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and AAAS. One of his strongest
assets is his ability to work with people, and he has used it effectively to benefit the
engineering profession.
Current as of 2003.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL
Automatic control is the application of control theory for regulation of processes without
direct human intervention. In the simplest type of an automatic control loop, a controller
compares a measured value of a process with a desired set value, and processes the
resulting error signal to change some input to the process, in such a way that the process
stays at its set point despite disturbances. This closed-loop control is an application of
negative feedback to a system. The mathematical basis of control theory was begun in the
18th century, and advanced rapidly in the 20th. Designing a system with features of
automatic control generally requires the feeding of electrical or mechanical energy to
enhance the dynamic features of an otherwise sluggish or variant, even errant system. The
control is applied by regulating the energy feed.
Function
Automatic control is concerned with maintaining process variable i.e. temperature,

pressure, flow, composition etc. at the desired operating value.
Examples
include air conditioners, refrigerators, automatic rice cookers, automatic ticketing

machines, etc. An air conditioner, for example, uses a thermostat to detect the temperature
and control the operation of its electrical parts to keep the room temperature at a preset
constant.
