Discrete objectives call for the use of interlocks and permissives.Continuous Feedback ControlIn a course devoted to automation design, there is no time to delve into the mathematics of linearcontrol theory; that’s at least a second course worth of material (Mechanical, Electrical orAeronautical Engineers spend 2-3 courses on control theory), and that introduction to controltheory is Process Dynamics and Control (PD&C). If a student is truly interested in processcontrol, I would strongly encourage them to take both PD&C and this automation course

All of this means that the students need help in pulling the engineering science anddesign methodology together in an environment made even more challenging by budget and time constraints.This paper describes several techniques that the authors have found effective in their experience as advisorsof numerous senior engineering design projects. These techniques serve as mechanisms to aid in “coaching”or “mentoring” the students through the design process.
