COURSE OBJECTIVES

At the end of the course, the participants should be
able to:

  • Explain the fundamentals of instrumentation and
    process control system as used in the industry:
  • Design and install practical instrumentation
    systems to get accurate feedback from
    production processes;
  • Calibrate and repair test instruments, gauges,
    transmitters, transducers, valve positioners, etc.;
  • Identify and give remedy to common quality
    process problems.

TARGET PARTICIPANTS
Preferably, the participant should be a holder of a bachelor’s degree in mechanical, electrical, electronics, industrial or chemical engineering. The course is also open to instructors of technical schools as well as industrial technicians.

TRAINING METHODOLOGY
The concept of Industrial Automation and Instrumentation will be introduced through the teaching of principles and simulation of their industrial applications in the laboratory. Repair and calibration techniques on various instruments will be the highlights in the laboratory portion.

VENUE
Sessions will be conducted in the Low-Cost Automation (LCA) Rooms at the ground floor of UPISSI.
