Associate of Applied Science Degree

Program Overview

The Instrumentation and Control Program prepares individuals to apply basic engineering principles and technical skills in support of engineers engaged in developing control and measurement systems and procedures. Coursework includes instruction in instrumentation installation and maintenance, calibration, design and production testing and scheduling, automated equipment functions, applications to specific industrial tasks, and report generation.


Program Outcomes

  1. Demonstrate understanding of the theory and operation of basic industrial systems in a safe workplace environment.
  2. Demonstrate the ability to read and understand blueprints, schematic diagrams and interpret National Codes.
  3. Demonstrate the ability to install and connect components and program devices used in basic industrial systems.
  4. Demonstrate the ability to analyze, test, troubleshoot, and repair components and circuits used in basic industrial systems and show how these systems are integrated into a large process.
  5. Participate in an internship experience or capstone course that will enable each student to make the connection between theory and practice.
