About Instrumentation Course :

Instrumentation Engineering means the applications of measurement and control for Process equipments. Design of instruments and their applications are two inherent aspects in Instrumentation. Further, installation, commissioning and maintenance of Instrumentation systems are integral part of Instrumentation Engineering. Instrumentation Engineers are the lead persons for Automation and Control.
          The competition due to globalization has resulted in better process control, optimum utilization of resources & higher level of automation in all industry sectors. The demand for automation is increasing day by day. To face these challenges, competent Instrumentation and control engineers are required. A highly interdisciplinary branch covers major aspects of chemical, Electronics, mechanical and electrical fundamentals.
          Tools required for the automation e.g. DCS, PLC, SCADA, Sensors, Controllers are covered under the curriculum of Instrumentation Engineering. Instrumentation includes electronic, pneumatic, and hydraulic instrumentation systems as well will be studied. Computerized controls are used at a very large scale in process industries, refineries, petrochemical industries and many more. Biomedical Instrumentation is also an important subject in instrumentation.

Career Opportunities:
          Because of this specific type of background an Instrumentation Engineer can choose his/her career in a wide range of engineering areas including IT industries. Petrochemical refineries, Fertilizer industry Chemical, Biomedical Equipments ,Embedded systems, Power Generation, Cement Industries, Automation Industries etc. He can work as specialist automation software programmer, trouble shooter for equipments like D.C.S, P.L.C, SCADA, LABVIEW, Plant design software packages like InTools etc.
Industries manufacturing large electrical machines and equipments employ engineers in design, production and testing. Educational Institutions and Research establishments recruit Instrumentation engineers as faculty and scientists.
          Instrumentation engineering department of our college provides opportunity for the students to learn and fulfill these industry demands and our college provides best teaching and resources to students according to the industrial requirements.
