CHE 2301 - Process and Automation (2)

Cross Listed as: No
Dual Listed as: No
Comprehensive introduction to automation and control systems, focusing on fundamental electrical circuit principles and their applications. Basic circuit laws and components, progressing into DC circuit analysis. Alternating current (AC) principles, including the behavior of capacitors, resistors, and inductors in RC, RL, and RLC circuits. Key electronic devices such as diodes, transistors, and operational amplifiers (op-amps) are introduced, emphasizing their roles in electronic systems. Exploration of sensors, sampling, data acquisition, and PID controllers, preparing students to design and implement automation systems. Concepts will be reinforced through laboratory exercises that involve building real-world applications using the Arduino platform.
