3 POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMME & CPD MODULES IN PROCESS AUTOMATION, INSTRUMENTATION & CONTROL t Introduction from the PROGRAMME CO-DIRECTORS Section 1 INTRODUCTION s In many respects the development of automation, instrumentation and control systems can be more complex than the design of the plant itself. Unfortunately, there is a chronic international shortage of personnel with the depth of knowledge and experience necessary to apply the technology and techniques required. Imperial is addressing this shortfall. We are seeking talented individuals who may be at the beginning of their careers or have a desire to seek new learning challenges, to come here to learn and be trained by us in an academic setting in automation, control and instrumentation. Over the years, professional automation, instrumentation and control systems have become essential in the chemical and process industries. Today, it is inconceivable that anybody would contemplate building a new plant or designing a new process a without installing comprehensive instrumentation and control systems. That growth has been partly driven by developments in control and instrumentation technology because the systems themselves have evolved in both flexibility and functionality. However, the primary driver has been economic, recognising that this technology can deliver substantial benefits in all areas of our industry. Process automation includes the immediate objectives of process control but also addresses the wider issues of enterprise management. It is an interdisciplinary subject, standing at the interfaces between chemical and electrical engineering, instrumentation and control, mathematics and computing, business and management as well as safety and security. Understanding the need for flexible learning and working closely together with the industry-recognised Partnership in Automation and Control Training (PACT) group, Imperial offers a structured programme of industrially relevant and academically rigorous modules that can be taken on a part-time basis, to form a Certificate or Diploma, or adding an industrial project to form an MSc, or as standalone courses as part of continuing professional development. The structure of the programme is: MSc in Process Automation, Instrumentation and Control, (part time); Postgraduate Diploma in Process Automation, Instrumentation and Control, (part time); Postgraduate Certificate in Process Automation, Instrumentation and Control, (part time); and, 16 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules. Professor Nina Thornhill and Dr Daryl Williams Programme Co-directors. 3

8 IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON DEPARTMENT Of ChEMICAL ENGINEERING t The PROGRAMME Section 2 PROGRAMME SYLLABUS t The structured programme of studies has been specially designed to enable students to choose the mode of study most appropriate to their educational needs. The structure of the programme features: MSc in Process Automation, Instrumentation and Control, (part-time) eight taught modules plus an industrial project; Postgraduate Diploma in Process Automation, Instrumentation and Control, (part-time) eight taught modules; Postgraduate Certificate in Process Automation, Instrumentation and Control, (part-time) four taught modules. All of these awards are based on a common suite of 16 modules from which students may select individual modules to suit their learning requirements. Some modules are of a foundation nature, the emphasis being on breadth rather than depth. Their purpose is to fill in gaps in students background knowledge. The emphasis of the other modules is on depth of understanding theoretical, technological and applied. These modules are taken according to students interests and requirements. The modules are organised in one-week blocks of intensive tuition which enables students to balance their studies alongside work and domestic commitments. At the completion of each module is an assignment equivalent to another week s full-time study, carried out in the student s own time. Students typically complete two or three modules per year although if they have satisfactorily progressed to the Postgraduate Diploma they may complete their eight modules in 12 months if they wish. A rich variety of elective modules caters for the students differing backgrounds (chemical, instrumentation etc) and enables them to select a path through the programme according to their interests, needs and future career direction. The Modules In general there is a free choice of any eight of the 16 modules: there are, however, some important constraints. Some elective modules require another module to be completed beforehand these are indicated by the prerequisites listed in the table opposite. Where a prerequisite is indicated, it dictates the order in which a student must take the modules. The modules are grouped into the following three categories, with the content of individual modules summarised on pages 10-11: Core Chemical Engineering Principles Instrumentation & Measurement Mathematics & MATLAB Technology & practice orientated Advanced Process Automation Batch Processing & Automation Dynamics & Control of Distillation Columns Fuzzy, Neural & Expert Systems Process Analytical Technology Theoretical & technique orientated Control Schemes and Strategies Control Systems Technology Management of Automation Projects Advanced Process Control Classical Control Systems Design Modelling & Simulation Modern Control Systems Design Optimization & Scheduling 8

It represents a major piece of design, development or research work done in-company. Supervision is carried out on a joint academic/industrial basis. The expectation is that it will take a total of 780 hours, equivalent to four months full-time work plus time to write the dissertation. 11

12 Imperial College London department of chemical engineering t ASSESSMENT Section 2 PROGRAMME SYLLABUS t Students taking the MSc, Postgraduate Diploma or Postgraduate Certificate in Process Automation, Instrumentation and Control, will be assessed for each module taken. Each module has two stages of formal assessment an assignment and an examination, as follows: an assignment, equivalent to one-week s full-time effort, for which students will be required to submit a report; a formal written examination. Examinations to be held at Imperial, and the university regulations require students from the UK or continental Europe to attend the college to take the exam. The regulations do, however, allow arrangements to be made to enable exams to be taken on a remote basis for students outside Europe. If registered for the MSc, a dissertation is to be submitted on the basis of work completed for the industrial project. To be awarded the MSc degree (90 ECTS credits) students are required to take and pass eight modules (7.5 credits each) plus the industrial project (30 credits). To be awarded the Postgraduate Diploma (60 ECTS credits) students are required to take and pass eight modules (7.5 credits each). To be awarded the Postgraduate Certificate (30 ECTS credits) students are required to take and pass four modules (7.5 credits each). Success grades for the MSc, are Pass, Merit, Distinction; and for the Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate are Pass/Fail. Please note that there is a time limit of five years for completion of the part-time MSc degree and four years for the part-time Postgraduate Diploma. Registration can be temporarily suspended if, for good reason, a student is unable to participate in their chosen course for a significant period of time; in this instance the time limit may be extended. Accreditation Accreditation is governed by the Engineering Council of the UK, of which all the major UK professional engineering institutions are members. The ECUK policy on accreditation is defined in Specification for Professional Engineering Competencies (UK-SPEC) which came into effect in The MSc Process Automation, Instrumentation and Control, is accredited for further learning to Master s level under the UK-SPEC guidelines as follows: by the IChemE for graduates with an IChemE accredited Bachelor s degree; by both of the IET and InstMC for graduates with a CEng accredited Bachelor s degree. The professional engineering institutions also have routes to CEng status for individuals who do not hold an accredited Bachelor s degree. This involves a case-by-case assessment of the non-accredited qualification together with any accredited further learning and experience. Students attaining the Certificate may proceed to the Diploma. Students attaining the Diploma may proceed to the MSc. 12
