The Diploma Program in Plant Engineering Technology (Instrumentation and Control) produces graduates with the knowledge and skills to implement instrumentation and control required in engineering industries such as oil and gas, chemical, electrical and electronic as well as manufacturing. This program exposes students to the highest skills in process control, calibration, and control systems of DCS and Fieldbus technologies and PLCs commonly used in industry. Students are also exposed to CAD software such as AutoCAD and Plant 3D to produce P&ID Drawings, Hook Ups and Flow Diagrams as basic knowledge in this field.
Students are also exposed to leadership, soft skills and entrepreneurship through the general survey course in forming graduates who are competitive in the oil and gas industry.
Students who successfully graduate from this program will work as instrument drafters and assistant engineers in various organizations such as engineering, manufacturing, oil and gas companies and equipment production companies. Students can also choose to become technopreneurs by opening their own company in addition to working in the industry.
