The process control and instrumentation minor emphasizes developing skills and knowledge in theory, software and in the field. Students graduate ready to solve complex control problems in the chemical ...

Wastewater process engineers must have well-above-average critical thinking, problem-solving, and verbal and written communication skills. They use computer-aided design (CAD) and other software to ...

Overlay control based on DI metrology of optical targets has been the primary basis for run-to-run process control for many years. In previous work we described a scenario where optical overlay ...

Batch remains advantageous for development, variable demand, and bounded risk, benefiting from natural hold points, simpler investigations, and lower upfront capital, despite longer lead times and ...

ISA recently published the third edition of Basic and Advanced Regulatory Control: System Design and Application by Harold L. Wade, Ph.D., PE. In this Q&A feature, Dr. Wade highlights the focus, ...

Increasingly tight tolerances and rigorous demands for quality are forcing chipmakers and equipment manufacturers to ferret out minor process variances, which can create significant anomalies in ...

Control engineering is the discipline that concerns the analysis, design and implementation of mechanisms that force dynamical systems to behave in prescribed ways despite uncertainties, disturbances ...
