The process control and instrumentation minor emphasizes developing skills and knowledge in theory, software and in the field. Students graduate ready to solve complex control problems in the chemical ...

Advanced packaging is transforming semiconductor manufacturing into a multi-dimensional challenge, blending 2D front-end wafer fabrication with 2.5D/3D assemblies, high-frequency device ...

Recent Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) research aims to better understand the potential of process control enhancements, such as load control, sliding pressure control, and steam temperature ...

At some point in our lives, we have dropped a drinking glass or knocked over a glass-blown knickknack, only to watch it hit the floor and shatter into pieces. We learn from any early age that glass is ...

At the end of February, PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group)—the consortium for open hardware specifications—introduced InterEdge, a modular architecture for process control systems ...

Compared to factory automation, process control places additional demands on communication technology. Process plants, which extend over wide areas, have a lifespan of 20+ years. They invariably run ...

5G has been around for years and has seen some adoption in process applications. Now on the horizon, likely with extensive use of optical transmission, is 6G and in the near term, 5.5G. Sometimes ...
