Course Overview Course description This course seeks to equip the student with the knowledge and basic skills required for an engineer in the area of control and instrumentation. Particular emphasis is paid to developing skills necessary to design and implement computer systems for automation and control and, in particular, programmable logic controllers or PLCs. The course is significant because of the importance of control, automation, control and instrumentation (collectively called instrumentation in the region) to the industrial processes which are flagships of the Caribbean economies and to the burgeoning group of small manufacturing concerns. The course introduces the students to common process and manufacturing subsystems and control components; it is also looks at new trends which include, for example, distributed control systems in manufacturing and process plants. Course aims This course is intended to bring to the students practical methods to control, identify, and monitor dynamical process systems. From ISA instrumentation schemes, the students shall be able to draw the process system in block diagrams and propose adequate solutions to achieve the desired tasks. A major concern will be devoted to modeling and control of manufacturing systems. Additionally, programmable logic controllers are used to implement discrete-events statements. Throughout this course, the students are introduced to use sophisticated methods and high-level programming tools as Matlab and Labview so as to acquire data, identify, and control process dynamical systems.

Learning outcome The learning outcomes are summarized in the following table. Knowledge and Understanding

Course assessment Breakdown of assessment artefacts Assessment Element 1 Weighting %: 25% Assessment type: assignments/quizzes/project/lab Duration: in-course/home Special facilities: none Assessment Element 2 Weighting %: 15% Assessment type: mid-Term exam Duration: in-course (180 mins) Special facilities: Open-book exam Assessment Element 3 Weighting %: 60% Assessment type: final examination Duration: 180 mins Special facilities: See the examination conditions written on the web site of the course (http://ibrir.free.fr). The three assessment elements will be aggregated to form a single overall mark. To achieve an overall pass in the Unit, students must pass the aggregated in-course assessments and the final examination separately.
