Instrumentation professionals play a vital role across many industries. It’s their job to monitor variables like flow, temperature, pressure and more to ensure equipment and systems are functioning correctly, safely and at peak performance. Instrumentation and control programs at Freedom Academy provide knowledge in process control applications and train students to use the latest control engineering technology so they can effectively monitor and maintain these environments.
If you have an analytical mind and want to develop your skills in a career in instrumentation, here’s what you need to know.
Instrumentation and Control Courses
Instrumentation and control courses combine science, mathematics, physics and other academic principles with practical skills in electrical wiring, chemical processes, computer science and more. Measuring and control techniques are at the core of these programs, and students will also learn the codes and standards for documenting instrumentation systems.
Students of instrumentation and control programs will spend a large portion of their time doing lab work, learning to install, calibrate and maintain a variety of instruments, including analog, digital, pneumatic and more, while also learning to troubleshoot equipment and instrumentation systems. Co-op placements may also be part of the curriculum to provide students with on-the-job experience and training.
