A new dimension
in upgrading laboratory facilities and teaching process control
to undergraduates began this semester. Students in the future
will have the opportunity to work on Honeywell control systems
which offer state-of-the-art control for all kinds of plants
from petrochemical facilities and refineries to food and pharmaceuticals,
plastics, paper, and virtually all types of process industries.
We have carved out a new control room which mimics modern control
rooms in industrial process facilities. Pictures of the new
control lab are given below. Click on any image to get a larger

Take a look at one of the new Honeywell control stations which were installed
Fall Semester of 2002.
These stations have quad, 21" flat screen monitors which can be used
to show schematics of processes and process variables.
The undergraduate laboratory in the background is in the process of being
wired into the Honeywell system. All lab experiments will be controlled
through the consoles.
Honeywell Plantscape software is the primary interface to process control
variables.
