Program Learning Outcomes
Program Learning Outcomes are specific, measurable statements that define the knowledge and skills students will gain by the end of the program.
Graduates of this program will be able to:
- Understand the physics of pressure, temperature, level and flow measurement; mechanical and electrical aspects of instruments used to control dynamics of processes; dynamics of automatic control including proportional control, automatic reset, derivative action and integral timing
- Demonstrate knowledge of commonly used process measurement devices, control methods and strategies, and the proper selection, identification, design, installation and operation of instrumentation
- Demonstrate knowledge of industrial process valve maintenance and instrumentation, including calibration, configuration, troubleshooting and use of valves with instrumentation
- Demonstrate knowledge of basic fundamentals, terms and units of DC and AC electrical theory; graduates will have the ability to use test equipment, hand tools and techniques of soldering
- Demonstrate the knowledge and ability to develop, construct and function check a student team created process control loop
- Meet expected outcomes in communications, computation and human relations as listed by the core
