SF3025 Process Instrumentation and Control Syllabus:
SF3025 Process Instrumentation and Control Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1. The aim of the course is to analysis of process parameters and design of control systems for open loop and closed loop systems and their application in chemical industries.
2. To provide a structured management approach to control safety risks in operations. Effective safety management must take into account the organization’s specific structures and processes related to safety of operations.
3. Demonstrate a mastery of Health safety and environment knowledge and safety management skills, to reach higher levels in their profession.
4. Effectively communicate on Health safety and environment, facilitating collaboration with experts across various disciplines so as to create and execute safe methodology in complex engineering environment.
5. Demonstrate professional expertise to the industrial and societal needs at national and global level subject to legal requirements.
