M.ENG - INSTRUMENTATION ENGINEERING

Description

Instrumentation engineering is the science of the measurement and control of process variables within a production or manufacturing area. Meanwhile, control engineering, also called control systems engineering, is the engineering discipline that applies control theory to design systems with desired behaviors. Control engineers are responsible for the research, design, and development of control devices and systems, typically in manufacturing facilities and process plants. Control methods employ sensors to measure the output variable of the device and provide feedback to the controller so that it can make corrections toward desired performance. Automatic control manages a device without the need of human inputs for correction, such as cruise control for regulating a car’s speed.
Control systems engineering activities are multi-disciplinary in nature. They focus on the implementation of control systems, mainly derived by mathematical modeling. Because instrumentation and control play a significant role in gathering information from a system and changing its parameters, they are a key part of control loops.

Outcomes:

Control and instrumentation engineers are responsible for designing, developing, installing, managing and maintaining equipment which is used to monitor and control engineering systems, machinery and processes. Your job is to make sure that these systems and processes operate effectively, efficiently and safely. These engineers need to develop acquisitions in certain control disciplines such as programmable logic controllers (PLC), distributed control systems (DCS), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and advanced process control (APC). The utilization of these disciplines will be based on the nature of individual work activities. Common responsibilities and tasks for most instrumentation and control engineer positions may include:

    • Designing and creating new control systems;
    • Managing various industrial operations;
    • Modifying and maintaining the existing systems;
    • Liaising with contractors, suppliers, clients and relevant authorities, for example, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority;
    • Problem solving and troubleshooting;
    • Working coordinately with purchasers, team of engineers, scientists, operational engineers, design engineers and other internal personnel;
    • Generating new business proposals;
    • Assessing and interpreting data;
    • Comprehending and ensuring that all operations are performed in compliance with the quality standards as well as safety and health regulations;
    • Managing to complete the project within time and cost constrained environment;
    • Preparing and approving project specifications, timescales, and budgets with managers/clients;
    • Purchasing equipment, providing consultancy support and advice, writing computer software, creating test procedures, providing technical assistance and writing documentations and reports;
    • Accepting a level of accountability and responsibility commensurate with the seniority of the job post;
    • Testing, assessing, calibrating and modifying instruments/products;
    • Performing relevant research; producing and adopting designs.

Jobs opportunities:

    • Instrumentation And Control Engineer,
    • Process Engineer,
    • Automation Engineer,
    • Robotician/Mechatronics Engineer,
    • System Engineer,
    • Process Control Engineer,
    • Maintenance Engineer.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

    • A hand written application addressed to the Director;
    • A certified true copy of Birth certificate;
    • A certified true copy of Advanced Level Certificate / Result Slip or school Attendance Attestation for candidates awaiting GCE Avanced level results;
    • 02 passport size photographs;
    • An A4 envelope with postal stamp carrying the candidate’s address;
    • An application form available at the institution or on the website(www.myiuc.com);
    • A medical fee of 5000 Fcfa to be paid after admission and during registration;
    • Application fee : 30 000 Frs.
