Instrumentation Emphasis

The Emphasis Requirements and Suggested Course Sequence below may assist you in planning your course of study and determining course availability. However, if you are currently enrolled in the program, your specific requirements may vary from what's shown here (see the appropriate GBC Catalog). All BAS students should consult with a departmental adviser in planning course work.

Emphasis Requirements

Program Overview

Building specifically upon the related Associate of Applied Science Degree in Electrical Systems Technology, the BAS in Instrumentation Technology provides you with stronger technical skills from upper-division study in instrumentation and process control. The coursework focuses on instrumentation, pressure, flow measurement and control, processes, temperature measurement and control, systems analysis, and advanced control systems.

In addition to General Requirements for the BAS degree, this program entails completion of the emphasis courses at right.

Suggested Course Sequence

NOTICE: The following sequence is simply a suggestion and may not be appropriate for all students. For example, some students will have to take from one to four developmental courses before they are prepared to take specific college level courses. Many students will need to take fewer courses each semester due to obligations in their lives. Full-time status is 12 credits per semester, but many programs provide students with the flexibility of taking fewer credits. Meeting with an adviser is crucial to establishing the best course sequence for each student.
