HEEAP 2015 | Chau Truong | Tempe, Phoenix, AZ, June 2015

Couse Aims
The course provides students in the area of Control Engineering
and Automation, Mechatronics and Energy Systems about
conceptions, structures, components, Human-Machine
Interfaces (HMI), alarms, events, trends and reports of
Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.
Especially, the course focuses on I/O-device-connection
approaches using modern SCADA software. At the end of the
course, students should design a complex SCADA and control
system.

Think-Pair-Share

Students work in group of 3-4 to search information

from internet about SCADA conceptions, SCADA
functions and SCADA architectures, and share each
other.

Students work in group of 3-4 to search information

from internet about PLC connection-with-SCADA
technologies and share each other.

After watching the video of investigation video of Texas

city refinery explosion, 2005. Students work in group of
