Although there are no previour requirement, it is highly recommended to have previous knowledge on

(1) operation of units operations and reactor

(2) Solving Differential Equations using Laplace

(3) Electronic instruments

Most of the subjects that the student of the Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering has taken up to this moment are aimed at describing the equipment used in the chemical industry and the models through which they are designed, so that the student who arrives at this subject must have developed skills that allow him to design equipment,  understand how it works, and compare between different equipment that is used to perform the same task. 

However, it does not know how a team in dynamic operating regime will evolve when any of the variables on which its operation depends undergoes a change and, coincidentally, this type of evolution is the one that most interests the chemical engineer who works in the plant. Nor does he know that maintaining these conditions in reality requires the use of instrumentation and algorithms that the engineer must know and know how to apply.

En esta asignatura se pretende conseguir que los alumnos adquieran competencias en el campo de la instrumentación de procesos químicos y en el diseño de sistemas de control.

General comments about the planning:

The assignment of hours to specific topics is not an element that the teacher considers relevant in the programming of the course, since some of the training activities correspond to several topics simultaneously. In the corresponding course planning guide, agreed in the title commission, all the dates of classes and seminars are collected, although they can be slightly modified according to situations that make it necessary.
