The Instrumentation program is designed to prepare students for a career in instrumentation and process control. Instrumentation technicians are employed in a large variety of industries to maintain equipment that controls temperature, pressure, and flow of material or speed and position of objects. Manufacturers such as Toyota, General Motors, Motorola, HEB and Temple Inland use process control to manufacture automobiles, electronic devices, cardboard containers and food products. Other industries use process control technicians to refine petroleum products, process chemicals and other materials. Just about everything you use or consume owes its existence to an instrumentation technician.
