<objectives>After successfully completing this module, students will be able to:
- operate programmable logic controllers. 
- apply system-theoretical methods to solve practice-oriented control and regulation tasks in the field of process engineering. 
- select controllers and their settings in a practice-oriented manner. 
- assess the particular problems involved in selecting and adjusting control loops. 
- describe modern tools for problem solving, as well as modeling and simulating  automation tasks. </objectives>
