Abstract
A survey was conducted on how control systems are represented in leading control engineering textbooks in Japan. It reflects the worldview shared by the control engineering academic community and influences the behavior of engineers. Unlike four years ago, when as many books as possible were surveyed, this survey looked at as many up-to-date syllabuses as possible for courses in which students first learn control engineering at the undergraduate level at all national universities in Japan, and extracted ten books that were mentioned in textbooks at at least three universities. For nine of these books, control systems were represented as in the regular world view. In other words, in those textbooks, there was no representation that directed the reader's awareness towards the outside of their representation of control system, which consists of a control target and a controller.
