Introduction: Instrumentation and control engineering is one of the brightest fields in engineering today. Instrumentation and control engineering is a specialised stream of engineering that deals with measurement and control of process variables in a production process. This discipline finds its origin in both electrical and electronics engineering, and it covers subjects related to electronics, electrical, mechanical, chemical and computing streams. In short, it deals with measurement, automation and control processes.If you look at the today's scenario, there are many people who are willing to make a career in this stream. A talented instrumentation and control engineer need not worry about getting a job because he has a sky full of opportunities to explore.
Scope: Instrumentation being an inter-disciplinary branch of engineering, is heading towards development of new & intelligent sensors, smart transducers, MEMS Technology, Blue tooth Technology. The automation systems in the production are rapidly being enhanced and the demand for highly skilled instrumentation engineers is on the rise. In the instrumentation systems manufacturing sector, the demand for well trained process control engineering graduates is always present.
Nature of job An instrumentation and control engineer is required to: 1. Design and develop control systems 2. Maintain the existing control systems 3. Manage the control systems 4. Collaborate with design engineers, purchasers and other staff members involved in the production processes 5. Manage projects within the given restraints including cost and time 6. Troubleshoot 7. Ensure that the instruments comply with health and safety regulations 8. Ensure that quality standards are maintained 9. Provide consultancy support
Requirement An instrumentation and control engineer is expected to learn subjects like industrial instrumentation, system dynamics and process control.
