This course is developed especially for the design,

project, commissioning, installation, and mainte-
nance engineers and also for the programmers,
field engineers and supervisors dealing with DCS
design, operation and maintenance. This course
aims to build a good understanding about the ba-
sics of DCS and it focuses on providing the prac-
tical aspects of DCS commissioning and trouble-
shooting.
A special emphasis on real life implementations,
case studies and international standards would en-
