Instrumentation and Process Control

Catalog description

This course provides an introduction into the field of process control and instrumentation with an emphasis on manufacturing processes. The course will explore the concepts of industrial processes, variables, and control systems used to sense and regulate those variables. Labs reinforce theory and will involve the exploration of various sensors, transducers, and related control systems and instrumentation. Emphasis is placed on process variables and elements associated with pressure, flow, temperature, and level control concepts and systems. Open and closed loop control systems are evaluated, along with extensive work with PID control methodology. Graded on A-F basis only. Credit Hour s : 3 Prerequisites: Grade of C- or higher in ENGTC 2150 . Restricted to Engineering Technology students only
