Learning Outcomes
Details of Learning Activities
The course will enable students to integrate knowledge in instrumentation and automation domain through developing , testing and commissioning a complex control sequence.
This unit provides a practical experience under simulated work environment in construction and commissioning various types electrical circuits and control systems. The is to gather evidence towards the competency “ Undertake commissioning of advanced systems” in various electrical circuits and control systems. The project will be undertaken in conjunction with the course that provides knowledge and skills underpinning the performance. This will require student to prioritise the task and complete all assessment criteria within a given time.
