Development of an Automated Process Control and Instrumentation Laboratory

三县技术学院正在建立一个自动化的 过程控制和仪表实验室， 综合性、多层次的课程改革。 国家 艺术实验室将包括一个汉普登仪器和 过程控制系统主要包括四个方面 仪表和控制功能：流量，液位， 温度和压力;加上计算机接口， 校准、气动工具和故障排除支持 模块。 这使得学院的工业工程 技术（I ET）部门将从一系列孤岛 专业知识的综合方法，使学生获得 当今高科技所需的广阔视野 制造业市场。 项目课程改革 包括：（1）开发和实施综合自动化 过程控制和仪器仪表课程 通用工程技术、电子工程 技术和工业电子技术方案;（2） 在当前的IT和商业中重新配置课程内容 部门提供的服务， 多学科/跨学科CIM方法;（3） 开发过程控制和仪表课程模块 其他学科，无论是在高等教育， 和中学水平，将能够利用， 说明性和/或实际操作应用。 一个明确 理论和现实世界应用之间的连接将是 通过这个项目实现。

Tri-County Technical College is establishing an automated process control and instrumentation laboratory as part of a integrated, multi-level curriculum reform. The state-of-the- art laboratory will consist of a Hampden Instrumentation and Process Control System to include the four major instrumentation and control functions: flow, level, temperature, and pressure; plus computer interface, calibration, pneumatic utilities, and troubleshooting support modules. This allows the College's Industrial & Engineering Technology (I&ET) Division to move from a series of islands of expertise to an integrated approach enabling students to gain the broadened perspective required in today's high tech manufacturing marketplace. Curriculum reforms for the project include: (1) to develop and implement comprehensive automatic process control and instrumentation curriculum courses within the General Engineering Technology, Electronics Engineering Technology, and Industrial Electronics Technology programs; (2) to reconfigure course content in current I&ET and Business division offerings to reflect a multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary CIM approach; and (3) to develop process control and instrumentation curriculum modules which other academic disciplines, at both the post-secondary and secondary levels, will be able to draw upon for illustrative and/or hands-on applications. A clear connectivity between theory and real-world application will be achieved through this project.
