In many respects a clear understanding and application of these principles is the most important factor in an efficient process control system. You can only achieve excellent control of your process when your instrumentation provides the correct information. The course is for those individuals primarily involved in achieving effective results for the industrial PRESENTATION FORMAT processes they are responsible for. This would involve the design, specification and implementation of control The course features real-world applications and and measurement equipment. uses a blended approach involving self-study, interactive online webinars and homework The course focuses on real applications, with attention to special installation considerations and application assignments with a mentor on call. The course limitations when selecting or installing different measurement or control equipment. consists of 12 modules, over a period of 3 months. Some modules may involve a practical component or group activity. For each module there will be an initial reading assignment along with coursework, quizzes or problems to be handed in and in some cases practical exercises. Participants will have ongoing support from their instructor and course coordinator. Course reading material will be delivered in electronic (PDF) format in advance of online presentations. Presentations and group discussions will be conducted using a live interactive software system. Assignments will be submitted electronically and wherever possible, practical exercises will be conducted using INCLUDES 4 FREE simulation software and remote labs.
