Frequently asked questions (FAQs) for Instrumentation

In an instrumentation job, your duties vary depending on the industry and your work. Instrumentation technicians, for example, help install, maintain, and repair a specific electrical or mechanical system that controls refineries, equipment, and vehicles.

Control and instrumentation (C&I) engineers are responsible for designing, developing, installing, managing, and maintaining equipment to monitor and control engineering systems, machinery, and processes. You must ensure that these systems and processes operate effectively, efficiently, and safely.

Control instrumentation includes devices such as solenoids, valves, circuit breakers, and relays. These devices can change a field parameter and provide remote or automated control capabilities.
