・Basic process control practice using a DCS simulator connected to a miniature plant (PID parameter tuning, advanced control)
・Practice of model predictive control simulator
・Cybersecurity
・Safety instrument system
・Operation support system
・Latest instrumentation & control systems

2. Site Visit:
・Sensing service manufacturer:
Technology of level gauge
Application Deadline
2025.08.13
Qualification
Engineers with a university degree and at least five years’ experience in process control, plant operation, or DCS, or those with equivalent qualifications.
