An Undergraduate Instrumentation Laboratory - Process Control

该项目的目的是建立一个本科仪器实验室，利用专门为教育用途设计的过程控制系统。这些系统为学生提供了可能在工业中遇到的实际情况，使学生熟悉各种工业传感器，并能够评估数据的准确性和工业过程的控制。根据该授权获得的设备是一个经过验证的集成实验室装置，包括用于工业中最常用测量参数的传感器和用于各种实验的控制器。它为理解计算机过程控制提供了必要的实验室经验。这些知识在许多行业都很有用，比如化工厂、炼油厂、发电厂、食品技术和制药，这些行业的毕业生经常担任技术和管理人员。随附的教科书是可用的。该奖金将由首席研究员所在机构提供等额的奖金。

This project's aim is to establish an undergraduate instrumentation laboratory utilizing process control systems specifically designed for educational use. Such systems provide the student with realistic situations likely to be encountered in industry, permit the student to become familiar with a variety of industrial sensors, and enable the evaluation of data for accuracy and control of industrial processes. The equipment obtained under this grant is a proven, integrated laboratory set-up including sensors for parameters most commonly measured in industry and a controller for a variety of experiments. It provides the laboratory experience necessary for the understanding of process control by computer. This knowledge is useful in the many industries such as chemical plants, refineries, power plants, food technology and pharmaceuticals where graduates frequently function as technical and supervisory personnel. An accompanying textbook is available. The award is being matched by an equal amount from the principal investigator's institution.
