Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Students should be able to:
- develop structured, logical control schemes for complex processes;
- choose control configurations for standard operations;
- estimate controller parameter settings;
- describe the frequency domain representation of dynamic process and control behaviour;
- explain the issues which arise when multiple control loops interact;
- develop systematic differential-algebraic equations models for dynamic process systems. |
