Im in my last year of instrumentation and control engineering, we need to propose a topic for our project study and develop a prototype involving process control. Can you give me some ideas, designs?
I'm relatively new to this forum, but you should know that experienced people like myself rarely, if ever, even open forum threads with the subject line 'help', as I notice another thread with that subject line has your signature on it.
With regard to a project, you need to learn to help us help you by providing some information. Working through that process is why "language arts" has been or should be part of your education.
Some information that might prove useful in eliciting ideas are things like:
Is this a paper project or a real 'physical' project?
What did last year's class do for a project and the year before?
Which industry segment are you addressing? Discrete, process, or robotic?
How much do you have in the way of resources?
- What is your budget?
- How much stuff, instrumentation and controls, do you already have access to and what does it consist of?
- on site at school or off-site?
How many companies are in the nearest industrial park? Which are manufacturers? Labor intensive or already automated? What hasn't been automated that they'd like to automate?
Are there political considerations, like the percentage of 'green' focus or the spin to make it look like such?
Although the Godfather (Part III) advised his son, "never let anyone know what you're thinking", his advice plays poorly on internet fora.
