Additional information

Unit content:

This unit is concerned with the design, specification, and implementation of an industrial oriented computer based systems associated with measurement and control. The types of systems will vary from year to year, ranging from small pilot plant scale SCADA systems to standalone systems to small networks of  connected systems. With an overall practical and group oriented approach, students will be exposed to various stages of typical small engineering projects. This includes problem specification, design, implementation, commissioning, maintenance and trouble shooting. Documentation, both written and various types of diagrams will generally be explored including electrical, electronic circuits, P&ID, connection, marshalling etc. The unit requires students to implement practical solutions to industrial problems drawing upon their background in preceding units. The unit is delivered in a studio model where staff and students work together in groups in solving a range of engineering projects associated with the content of this unit.
