COURSE STRUCTURE/SCHEDULE: Lecture: 3 per week @ 1 hours
COURSE OBJECTIVES	Links shown in brackets are to course outcomes that satisfy these objectives. 1. To provide a conceptual and methodological framework for describing a process and its control system. [1-6] 2. To provide a conceptual and methodological framework for quantitatively analyzing and evaluating automatic control systems for chemical processes [3-7]
COURSE OUTCOMES	Links shown in brackets are to program educational outcomes. 1. Draw piping and instrumentation diagrams following accepted standards and using appropriate symbols 2. Explain the operation of sensors and valves, including appropriate placement and linking. 3. Formulate unsteady state models for common unit operations, and solve the resulting differential equations using analytical and numerical methods. 4. Develop logical control programs 5. Explain the operation of P, I, D, and PID controllers, and be able to simulate them and tune them using classical methods. 6. Explain and implement feedback, feed forward, ratio, and cascade control architectures. 7. Develop control charts and evaluate them using probability distributions, including acceptance sampling.
ASSESSMENT TOOLS	1. Home and class problems assess outcomes 1-7 2. Exams assess outcomes 1-7 3. End-of-term course evaluation provides student self-assessment of outcomes 1-7
