ETEC 243 - Controls and Instrumentation

1. Describe electronic system troubleshooting techniques, methodologies, and terminology as well as demonstrate their use in locating faults with common electrical test equipment.
2. List the factors that affect the ability of sensors to detect a target or cause an actuator to miss its target.
3. Describe and apply the Laws of Thermodynamics, types of heat transfer, humidity, and dew point.
4. Describe volumetric flow rate, flow velocity, mass flow rate, and flow measurement technologies.
5. Describe the modes of control (on-off, proportional, integral, and derivative), the affect each mode has on maintaining the process quality, and how loop tuning will assure that the process will meet and maintain quality standards.
