Instrumentation Engineering

Posted by iticollege on May 28th, 2021

Instrumentation engineers use the principles of technology that focus on the theory and application of measurement instruments used to develop and implement automated processes in the mechanical, pneumatic, electrical domains, and other disciplines.

Engineers in this field usually work in industries with automated processes to improve efficiency, reliability, sustainability, optimization, and stability. Instrumentation engineers are in charge of connecting sensors to transmitters, communication devices, display panels, and power systems. They are sometimes in charge of the signal conditioning and wiring. They may also be in charge of the system's installation, calibration, and repair.

Instrumentation Control and Automation Engineering

Industrial instrumentation is the fusion of electrical, computational, and mechanical engineering with control engineering. In various engineering sectors, this applied specialization involves the construction of intelligent systems to automate control, sorting, and manufacturing. The course is planned to provide learners with a solid foundation for various career paths in automation and control implementation in the manufacturing and processing sectors, both of which are heavily reflected in the US economy.

Graduates will be familiar with industrial engineering and have specialized expertise in the design, production, and administration of sophisticated control and automation systems and the capacity to engage in and lead challenging multi-disciplinary projects.

The curriculum emphasizes the acquisition of expertise and skills related to advanced engineering practice, as well as a solid analytical foundation. It incorporates strong aspects of problem-solving skills, teamwork, and project management. As a result, learners can possess good analytical abilities as well as a wide range of specialized and transferable skills.

Industrial Instrumentation and Control as a Career

Instrumentation and control engineers apply their knowledge and skill to track and manipulate different machine-run devices. They can use automated systems to calculate and track operating performance in a wide variety of industrial plants, wastewater treatment plants, and nuclear power stations. They work with four fundamental measurements, namely, temperature, flow, level, and flow.

Their responsibilities include arranging and measuring equipment, reviewing results, sketching plans, and compiling reports. These technicians can be required to operate in a busy industrial environment and lift heavy machinery, putting them at risk for injury.

An instrumentation technician’s responsibilities may include designing and developing electrical circuits and device layouts for electric power delivery. Their other duties may consist of installing electrical panels and overseeing a team of document management staff responsible for locating and organizing facility maintenance drawings. The job needs initiative, writing, speech, and mathematical skills for the technicians to fulfill these duties. Possessing a college degree in electrical engineering, architecture, or a similar area is needed for this role.
