6235 Control Systems Engineering

This instructor-led advanced engineering course will help increase plant utilization and
performance by generating a sound foundation of process control theories explaining why
processes behave the way they do, and therefore enabling you to apply more efficient methods
of control. Most Process Control courses try to explain process control concepts in either a
qualitative manner or a pure quantitative manner. Neither is satisfactory. The first simplifies
the subject too much to make it useful for understanding how processes behave and why
particular control strategies are successful. The later involves too much math to making the
subject too abstract for any real-world application. The Control Systems Engineering course
