Instrumentation & Control Engineering

Instrumentation & Control Engineering (ICE) is a specialized field of engineering that focuses on the design, development, installation, and maintenance of instruments and control systems used in industrial processes. It plays a critical role in ensuring that machinery and processes operate efficiently, safely, and within specified parameters.

Overview

This discipline combines principles from electrical, electronics, mechanical, and computer engineering to create systems that measure, monitor, and control physical quantities like temperature, pressure, flow, and level.
Graduates of ICE are in high demand across industries such as oil & gas, manufacturing, energy, pharmaceuticals, and automation. The program typically spans 4 years at the undergraduate level and includes both theoretical and practical training, along with industry internships.
