==COURSE OBJECTIVES==

After the course, the participants will be able to:

* Select the type of level and flow measurement, as well as the control valve applicable to a process situation.
* Perform calculations required in level measurements, orifice sizing, control valve sizing and controller tuning.
* Understand the application, hardware and software requirements and basic configuration techniques in distributed control systems (DCS).

==TARGET PARTICIPANTS==

The course is open to holders of a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Industrial or Chemical Engineering; as well as to instructors of technical schools and industrial technicians. Knowledge of the basics of Instrumentation and Process Control is a prerequisite to the program.

==TRAINING METHODOLOGY==

The lecture-discussion method will be used and sufficiently supplemented by laboratory and simulation work, which is the hands-on portion of the program. The resource persons will supervise individual and group exercises closely.

==VENUE==

Sessions will be conducted at the Low-Cost Automation (LCA) Rooms of UPISSI.
