What is instrumentation and control engineering?

Instrumentation and control engineering is related to the processes of design, configuration, and automation of the instruments used to control manufacturing systems. This field of study is closely related to robotic engineering and has become an important part of industrial manufacturing. An instrumentation controls engineer performs work to ensure that these systems are monitored and working appropriately. Their job duties include designing instrumentation to measure aspects such as temperature and pressure and overseeing the construction and maintenance of these controls. Instrumentation controls engineering jobs are available across a variety of industries such as health, manufacturing, and food, mining, and energy production.
