Aim of the course
Last update: TAJ444 (05.06.2012)

Subject Measuring and Control Engineering is introduction to the fields of process measurement and control. Students will acquaint with basic principles feedback process control, logical control and computer control of technological processes. Students obtain basic information about equipment in the field of process control instrumentation. Principles and properties characteristics of selected pressure, temperature, flow, level and chemical sensors are described and their applications are introduced.
