Programs
Instrumentation & Controls Engineering Technology, A.A.S.
The Instrumentation and Controls Engineering Technology program prepares individuals to install, calibrate, troubleshoot and maintain process control equipment and systems. A wide variety of equipment is learned, from traditional pneumatics to digital devices using different protocols.
TSI testing required prior to first enrollment for all AAS degrees and Level II certificates.
Graduates of the program will be able to:
- Interpret and apply industry standards and safety practices to ensure compliance and reliability in engineering and operational environments.
- Read, interpret and sketch Process Function Diagrams (PFDs), Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) used in industrial automatic control using applicable industry standards and symbols.
- Configure a smart transmitter using a field communicator.
- Design, write a ladder logic code, and download/install it to a native Programmable Logic Controller (PLC); troubleshoot and validate the original designed functionality.
- Troubleshoot and correct process upsets caused by faults injected/introduced to plant process control equipment using simulation.
