Course Code: SNRG 314
Academic Year: 2024-2025
This course introduces students to control systems (with a focus on building automation) that monitor and control mechanical and electrical equipment. Field devices (such as sensors, actuators, and valves/dampers) will be studied, and traditional technologies will be compared to more modern digital technologies to understand each's reliability, cost and ease of use. Programming fundamentals will also be covered in this course - working in small teams, students will design, program, and demonstrate real control systems using the program's building automation lab.
