This lab provides practical training in controlling and monitoring industrial processes. It helps students learn how to maintain system stability, optimize performance, and ensure safety in manufacturing and chemical processing. The following experiments are conducted in this lab:

• Temperature control in a plate heat exchanger
• Pressure control of a tank
• Concept of fast response process and flow control in a pipe
• Concept of slow response process and liquid level control in a tank
• Concept of dead time in process control and its effect on system behavior and controlling parameters

Through the laboratory experience students can do the following:

• Develop deeper understanding of concepts.
• Experience phenomena directly.
• Connect book knowledge to real-world applications.
• Apply concepts to new situations and solve authentic problems.
• Develop thinking skills (critical, quantitative, qualitative).
• Develop data analysis skills.
• Develop experimental skills (e.g., design, observation, and use of equipment).
• Develop communication skills, including those involved in working in groups.
• Develop an appreciation for research in the field.
