Modern process and manufacturing industries rely on accurate measurement and control of process parameters to ensure products of a very high quality can be produced safely and efficiently.
Technicians working in the process industries are involved in the configuration, installation, calibration and maintenance of measurement and control systems. This course is designed to give students the introductory skills and knowledge required to operate in such environments.
