Instrumentation and Control Engineering (with Foundation Year)

About this course

Instrumentation and control engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with measuring physical quantities, interpreting the resulting data, and using it to control industrial and automated systems. Instruments measure everything from temperature, pressure, and flow rate in a chemical plant to the position and velocity of components in a robotic assembly line. Control engineering uses the signals from those instruments to manage processes automatically, maintaining stability, precision, and efficiency in systems that would be impossible to operate reliably by hand. The field underpins modern manufacturing, energy production, petrochemical processing, and the increasingly automated systems across every sector of the economy. At Teesside University, this four-year, full-time programme includes a sandwich year and work placement opportunities, along with a foundation year element bu
