Prototype Implementation: An Effective Learning Method in Process Automation

Abstract

This paper presents the details of a course activity designed and implemented for the course in Process Automation at undergraduate engineering program in Instrumentation to augment the theoretical concepts. The course activity focuses on integrating basic process devices with plant for automation by developing an industry-like prototype module. The details of the course activity phases are also presented. The outcomes of the activity facilitates in terms of academic performance along with exploratory learning attitude and presentation skills.
