About the program

This 6-month Graduate Certificate cultivates both oral and written communication skills essential for the critical analysis and presentation of complex technical ideas and solutions in Industrial Automation. Aimed at professionals within the engineering sector, the course encourages both individual and collaborative problem-solving approaches, thereby fostering professional and organized conduct in handling industry-specific challenges.

There is a global shortage of automation, instrumentation, and control engineers. Due to the rapid growth of new industries and technologies, industrial processes are becoming increasingly automated. Previously mechanized systems that required human intervention now use computerized control systems for higher accuracy, precision, and cost-effectiveness.

This Graduate Certificate provides specialized knowledge in Industrial Automation Engineering, focusing on skills essential for advancing careers in control, instrumentation, and process management.

The content has been carefully designed to provide you with relevant concepts and the tools required in today’s fast-moving work environment.

Our Programmable Logic Controllers unit covers in-depth principles of operation of PLCs, networking, distributed controllers, and program control strategies. The unit on industrial process control systems combines the process identification and feedback control design with a broad understanding of the hardware, system architectures, and software techniques widely used to evaluate and implement complex control solutions.Our industrial instrumentation unit identifies key features of widely used measurement techniques and transducers combined with microprocessor devices to create robust and reliable industrial instruments. Undertaking process engineering will enable you to evaluate and apply complex process calculations through the application of control principles.

Upon completion, students should be able to:

  • Gain expertise in instrumentation, controller operation, and process control.
  • Develop essential project management skills for industrial automation.
  • Enhance problem-solving abilities to tackle real-world engineering challenges.

Modules included

  • Programmable Logic Controllers
