Objectives

You will become familiar with a hardware engineering project from an implementation perspective. Studying in this course requires knowledge of the basics of automation technology, field devices, industrial instrumentation and electrical drives also on a practical level. This course provides the skills needed for working life projects in this engineering field.

EUR-ACE ENGINEERING PRACTICE
You can design measurement, control, regulation and valve circuits and manage hardware engineering related to instrumentation from the definition stage to implementation. You will be able to utilize various engineering software when creating documentation.

EA-CT COMMUNICATION AND TEAM-WORKING
You will have the ability to communicate effectively about information, ideas, problems and solutions in the project team and with different communities. You know how to work effectively as an individual and as a member of a project team.
 

Content

Establishment of a project organization
Automation hardware engineering project scheduling
