2. LEARNING OUTCOMES
Learning Outcomes | |
| Upon successful completion of the course, students have the following knowledge/abilities/skills: • Understand the concept of control of a physicochemical process and the dependence on the dynamic behavior of the process. • Understand the necessity of applying control on a process and its relation/importance to operational safety, productivity/efficiency and ensuring environmental constraints during process operation. • Ability to select and design an appropriate regulatory system. • Ability to mathematically describe the aforementioned type of problems and solve them using computational tools (e.g., MATLAB, SIMULINK, etc.). • Development of critical thinking and problem solving in process control related problems. | |
| |
| • Practical application of knowledge • Search, analysis and synthesis of data and information, using the necessary technologies • Decision making • Autonomous work • Teamwork |
