You will be able to:

  • Communicate with measurement and control professionals
  • Discuss the role of measurement and control in industrial processes
  • Differentiate between continuous, batch, and discrete control
  • Apply specific ISA standards to interpret symbols and drawings associated with process control documentation 
  • Discuss and apply the most common methods and devices used in temperature, pressure, level, and flow measurement
  • List control valves in a feedback control loop
  • Discuss the fundamentals of process control
  • Differentiate between various control system architectures
  • Discuss trends in measurement and control technology
  • Apply safe laboratory practices
  • Apply hands-on skills learned in the laboratory exercises
  • Apply basic devices and procedures for connecting and calibrating various measurement devices
