Meng Instrumentation and Control Engineering

The MEng (Hons) Instrumentation and Control Engineering course offered by Teesside University is an in-depth course designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to design and implement engineering technologies that are critical for operating automated systems in industries like oil and gas, petrochemicals, and energy. The curriculum emphasizes key specialised topics like measurement and control systems along with the traditional aspects of mechanical and electronic engineering.Course Content: This course is divided into several modules spanning four years. The first year introduces all aspects of engineering. This is followed by advanced study in the second and third years with modules focusing on the core principles of instrumentation and control. In the final year, students will undertake an individual project and a group design project based around an industrial problem from the following areas: process control system design, instrumentation system design, machine condition monitoring, and instrumentation and control of a thermal power plant system.Key Modules: Some key areas of study include: Engineering applications & study skills; Engineering mathematics; Electrical & electronic principles; Mechanical principles; Microprocessor systems; Instrumentation systems; Control systems; Signal processing & system modelling; Project (Instrumentation and Control Engineering); Industrial automation; Instrumentation system integration; Measurement & control of analytical systems; Machine condition monitoring; and Process control design. Accreditations: The course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.Future Careers: Graduates of this course can potentially pursue career opportunities in various sectors requiring automated solutions, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, and energy. They would be suited for roles such as process engineer, control engineer, reliability engineer, or instrument and control technician. Opportunities for further research in the field are also available.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page_instrumentation_and_control_engineering.cfm).
