in the students so that they are able to acquire following competencies:
Operate and maintain different types of instrument air supply systems and
plant interlock system.
Select, install and maintain various instrumentation & control systems for
various process industries.
3. COURSE OUTCOMES
The theory should be taught and practical should be carried out in such a manner that students
are able to acquire required learning out comes in cognitive, psychomotor and affective
domain to demonstrate following course outcomes:
i Select appropriate instruments according to process application requirement.
ii Utilize instrument drawings during installation and commissioning of plant.
iii Design a plant interlock circuit.
iv Design an instrument air supply system for plant.
v Test and maintain major control loops of cement, textile and power plant.

7. SUGGESTED LIST OF EXERCISES/PRACTICALS

The practical should be properly designed and implemented with an attempt to develop
different types of skills (outcomes in psychomotor and affective domain) so that students
are able to acquire the competencies/programme outcomes. Following is the list of practical
exercises for guidance.
Note: Here only outcomes in psychomotor domain are listed as practical. However, if these
practical are completed appropriately, they would also lead to development of certain
outcomes in affective domain which would in turn lead to development of Course Outcomes
related to affective domain. Thus over all development of Programme Outcomes (as given in
a common list at the beginning of curriculum document for this programme) would be
assured.
Faculty should refer to that common list and should ensure that students also acquire
outcomes in affective domain which are required for overall achievement of Programme
Outcomes/Course Outcomes.
