Course Objective:
Industrial Automation is a discipline that includes knowledge and expertise from various
branches of engineering including electrical, electronics, chemical, mechanical,
communications and more recently computer and software engineering. Automation &
Control by its very nature demands a cross fertilization of these faculties

The purpose of this course is to study the elements and methods of the control system
operations and used in the industry to controll industrial process. This course provides the
students with a basic foundation in the industrial electronics. Students will gain an
understanding of common industrial electronics concepts, components and applications.

Learning outcomes:
Industrial Automation Engineers have always drawn new technologies and implemented
original or enhanced versions to meet their requirements. As the range of technology
diversifies the demand on the innovative ability of these Engineers has increased.
Students will:
 Industrial Automation Engineer will be able to understand the implementation of the
new technologies and its implementation
 Understand of Sensors and actuators and their integrations
 Understanding of programming tools of Programable devices
 Understanding the basic industrila standards for interfacing
 Accessing the Analog and digital data to CPU to process the informations
 Implementations of Controller Applications
 Process Control Applications
