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.
