“Knowledge.” • “Abilities” refers to the power or capacity to perform an activity or task. For example, having the ability to use a variety of laboratory instruments [5], or the ability to plan and organize. • “Skills” are the capabilities or proficiencies developed through training or hands-on experience. Skills are the practical application of theoretical knowledge. Someone can take a course on investing in financial futures, and therefore has knowledge of it. But getting experience in trading these instruments adds skills [6]. • “Knowledge” statements refer to an organized body of information usually of a factual or procedural nature which, if applied, makes adequate performance on the job possible

The pump is used to transfer water from the reservoir to anoverhead tank and the level is reported real-time by the level sensor.
