I think it must vary by institution. For a second data point. EE here from an ABET accredited US University. Controls & Discrete Controls was mandatory for EE. No other engineering major at the school, including MechE, had this requirement.

Nearly the same for me. Continuous controls was a requirement for graduating with my BSEE. I don't believe that it was required for the MEs.
