Instrumentation and Automation

Just imagine a world without instruments. It would be like traversing into a time that probably goes even beyond the Stone Age. Man has always been fascinated towards instruments and the quest to invent and innovate on new instruments has pushed mankind beyond barriers to an age where instruments have become a part and parcel of the life. Today, we find instruments at home and at workplace, and this was possible only because of the science instrumentation. In scientific terms, instrumentation is defined as the art and science of measurement and control of process variables within a production, or manufacturing area. The process variables used in industries are Level, Pressure, Temperature, Humidity, Flow, pH, Force, Speed etc. The science has further opened up the realm of instrumentation engineering. Automation is the buzz word in process industry, and automation is the core job of instrumentation and control engineers. Hence, the demand for instrumentation along with automation will always be there.

Career Prospects

As a control and instrumentation engineer (C&I engineer) you will progress through your career typically acquiring specialist knowledge of a particular industry sector and/or area of C&I knowledge.You may work towards professional registration such as incorporated engineer (IEng) or chartered engineer (CEng) depending on your level of qualification, and this can aid career progression.

In more senior roles you may lead a team or manage test programs. Senior positions carry the highest level of responsibility and typically include planning and management activities, as well as leading new developments. Senior engineers in production and operation functions can often be representatives at board level.

Course Objective

Diploma/Certification In Process Control And Instrumentation (Duration 6 months / 3 months) course provided by techshore will help the student to understand the Designing, Installation, Calibration and internal structure of all instruments that are used in measuring parameters related to electronics and also difference between analog meters and digital meters and their performance characteristics.

Certification In Industrial Automation (Duration 3 months) course deals with professionals from industrial automation technology, Instrumentation, robotics technology or mechatronics engineering technology. Through didactic courses and hands-on lab sessions, students learn how to use programmable logic controllers, Variable Frequency Drives, Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition and other robotics control devices in an industrial or manufacturing environment.
