Module Overview | Module Learning Objectives
Face-to Face

We will meet the first day of class. This mod we will go over the syllabus/course information and expectations and get started with some intro stuff and start learning about instrumentation. (Our future meeting will include your hands-on labs.)

Online

1. First read through my "The Big Picture" pages.
2. Next familiarize yourself with the class discussion questions so that you can be thinking of them while you read. Note posting deadlines.
3. Then for this mod you want to read the assigned chapter in your text and then answer the Checking Your Knowledge questions at the end of chapter and upload in Canvas.
4. Work on any Your Calculations Corner assignments (if there are any) before the end of the mod so that you can get feedback from me before the quiz.
5. Take the reading quiz when you feel like you will do well.
6. Complete assignments before the due dates-remember, the "due" date is not the "do" date.
By the end of this module, in addition to being able to navigate Canvas and meeting your classmates, you will be able to:

- Discuss the evolution and importance of process instrumentation to the petrochemical and refining industry.
- Describe the major process variables controlled in the process industries
- Define terms associated with instrumentation
- Explain the relationship between common process variables:

  - What happens to the pressure in a closed container when temperature increases or decreases?
  - What happens to the temperature in a closed container when pressure increases or decreases?
  - Explain what happens to the temperature in a closed container when temperature increases or decreases.
  - What happens to vessel bottom pressure when height of liquid increases or decreases
