Course Objective

The Diploma in Engineering (Control and Automation) (DECA) focuses on electrical and electronic engineering that is applied in the areas of automation, process control and instrumentation. It equips technicians or participants with equivalent roles with the knowledge and skills required to undertake new roles that include engineer, associate engineer, assistant engineer or technical officer in the manufacturing, process and automation industries.

The course aims to train participants in the areas of instrumentation, automation and control. They will be equipped with the practical skills and knowledge in domains that include electrical and electronic engineering, Programmable Logic Controllers, Robotics and Digital Manufacturing Technology. This will allow them to work in areas like maintenance, process control, production and development in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, oil and gas, and power.

In response to the evolving needs of the industry, this course has been brought up-to-date with the following modules:
  • Artificial Intelligence for Automation, which provides the background required to understand the techniques involved in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) and equip students with knowledge of how to implement AI and ML systems and solutions for industrial automation systems.
  • Smart Sensors & Actuators, which provides students with a broad knowledge of various types of smart sensors and an in-depth understanding of the principle & application of smart sensors & actuators in automation and process industries.
  • Digital Manufacturing Technology, which covers the various components and technologies in Digital Manufacturing (Industry 4.0).
