It also aims at making the students gain knowledge about the various techniques of communicating the measured results throughout a process plant. Objective To enable the student to understand control of various Processes in industries. The student will apply his/her knowledge to find applications of different types of controllers in process industries. A. Knowledge and understanding of the topic Demonstrate knowledge of acquisition of information Demonstrate appropriate application of module knowledge Demonstrate wider reading and comprehension of topic B. Application and analysis of the topic (Module specific Skill) Demonstrate the concept of open loop and closed loop control systems. To gain knowledge on identification of different types of controllers. To gain knowledge and understand principles of various control configurations applied in process plants. C. The structure in terms of logic and coherence Submissions should have a clear start and a clear end. Information within submissions should also be logical and well grouped. Report structure should include abstract, introduction & referencing, result Analysis, and conclusion & future work. • Presentation should indicate clear perception and understanding. • Ability to select appropriate analytical tools. • Ability to produce solutions to problems through engineering knowledge. • Knowledge of data management. • Use of creativity and innovation in problem solving. • Effective communication. D. The use of relevant work examples and/or examples gained from further reading Suggestions for further reading are contained within the course work and indicated at the end of the course work. These reading lists are not exhaustive and candidates are encouraged to read further and reference at the end of the course work using Harvard style of referencing. The task is individual and each student is required to submit report. For report writing the student should follow the below mentioned guidelines A front cover should contain name and student number All information should be documented following a structure Answers to the coursework questions should be computer typed Submit your coursework answers along with question paper References 1.

Plagiarism It is important to understand what plagiarism is and how it can be avoided. "Unacknowledged copying from published sources (including the internet) or incomplete referencing". The following also constitute plagiarism: • Copying sections of work from a friend/colleague. • Having a friend/family member dictate something to you. • Copying and pasting from the internet without citing the source. • Copying directly from a study text quotation without citing the source. Quotations When using quotations from books, websites or journal articles you should cite the author and the year of publication then use the quote in quotation marks. Paraphrasing Paraphrasing is where you encapsulate another person's original idea, argument or conclusion in your own words. It is still necessary to attribute those ideas to the author, and you can do this by using the formatting outlined above for direct quotations, taking care to include the author's surname and the year of publication. Collaboration We acknowledge that you may undertake joint study with colleagues or as part of a formal training programme. However, working with another person to write assignments is not acceptable. Your answers must be your own and in your own words. Referencing Harvard Referencing (CCE Style) First Edition 2013 should be followed for both in-text and listing references. This downloadable document can be found in our CCE portal at: http://portal.cce.edu.om/member/contentdetails.aspx?cid=628 Instructions 1. Plagiarism is a serious offence. In case of any plagiarism detected, penalty will be imposed leading to zero mark. 2. Course work and reports should be solved by the individual. 3. Course work and reports should be submitted on time and submission after deadline will be marked zero. 4. Course work should be submitted with an appropriate cover page, which can be obtained from the departmental assistant at the department. 5. Name, student identification and title of the course work to be written clearly and legibly on the cover page. 6. The completed course work is to be submitted to the departmental assistant on or before the deadline and record your name, date of submission and signature in the book with the departmental assistant.
