Specialization in Chemical Instrumentation Automation
Thread Content
I would like to know how widely the specialty of chemical process instrumentation automation is offered in universities How many schools at the undergraduate level or above offer this major?
Schools related to petroleum and chemicals should all have this major.
There is no longer a specialty called “Chemical Instrumentation and Automation”; those specialties from before are now referred to as “Automation”. “The name of the major in “Chemical Process Instruments and Automation” has undergone several changes. After “Chemical Process Instruments and Automation”, it was called “Chemical Automation and Instruments”; later on, it became “Chemical Automation” and “Industrial Automation”, and today it is simply referred to as Automation. Some universities have changed the name of “Chemical Process Instrumentation and Automation” to “Process Equipment and Control Engineering” or similar names.
Most chemical engineering colleges have such programs; for example, our university, Qingdao University of Science and Technology (formerly Qingdao Institute of Chemical Technology), offers majors in Measurement and Control Technology and Instruments as well as Automation
There is no unified name; **it should be standardized.
There are about 20 such schools, with 100 students in each; nationwide, there must be at least 2,000 people who have received formal training in this field per year. Adding in the automation programs at other universities, there are still a lot of people.
Undergraduate programs in this field are usually called Automation; of course, graduates can also work in the electrical field as well: lol
This major is available in the fields of automation, testing technology, and control engineering at institutions specializing in petrochemicals and chemical engineering. The programs with the same name in institutions specializing in other fields may not necessarily focus on that particular area; for example, institutions dedicated to electrical engineering deal with electrical-related topics, while comprehensive science and engineering programs tend to focus on embedded industrial control chips these days.
