The Control and Instrumentation Engineering (CIE) has multidisciplinary objectives in engineering education. CIE builds on a judicious integration of various scientific and engineering fields so as to achieve its global objective of accomplishing optimum productivity through an optimal use of the available resources. The CIE program aims to prepare students to use their problem-solving skills to tackle technological issues in a variety of engineering systems and to be a lifelong learner up-to-date with the latest scientific and technological advances in the field.
The main objective of the CIE department is graduating engineers who can carry out analysis, design, evaluation, and implementation of modern control and instrumentation systems for key local/regional industries.
The undergraduate program Bachelor of Science (BS) in “Control and Instrumentation Engineering” is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (https://www.abet.org).
The undergraduate program of Bachelor of Science (BS) in Control and Instrumentation Engineering (Summer Training Option) is designed to graduate students who are expected to attain (within a few years) of graduation the following PEOs:
The Control and Instrumentation Engineering (BS) students by the time of graduation will have the ability to:
