6. Specific goals for the course


a. specific outcomes of instruction

• Students learn the principles of control theory with emphasis on process control and
some of its specific applications in actual industrial systems.
• Students learn techniques of process modeling and linearization.
• Students become familiarized with standard process control configurations.

147
• Students learn about the state space approach to modelling and control and would be
able to use MATLAB, Simulink and symbolic computations for modelling, linearization
and control simulations.
• A working knowledge of basic techniques of process control and measurement and their
applications in the design of process-control systems is provided to students.
• Students develop basic process control design skills including development of
component specifications, control-valve sizing techniques, preparation of Piping &
Instrumentation Diagrams, tuning of PID controllers and system identification.

b. explicitly indicate which of the student outcomes listed in Criterion 3 or any other
outcomes are addressed by the course.
