Degree in Instrumentation Technology

Scope

The word automation has become a familiar phrase to an average Indian. In the process industries, the some what synonymous term instrumentation is no less familiar. It is ironic that in a day of automation (or Instrumentation) there still exists a partial void in efforts to train people engaged in a field that involves both art and science. Formal education in the field has been nil; practitioners have come from other disciplines, primarily electrical, mechanical, and chemical. The training offered to those entering the profession has come through formal and informal communication within the small but closely-knit group. Trainees are often bewildered by the slow rate at which they grasp the entire field and achieve the level of competence and confidence of a professional.
