[JohnielWhite]

Good day every1, I am considering a path in Instrumentation and Controls Engineering but I am not 100% of the job availably and which industries they are likely to work. Could someone please give me a briefing on what Exactly Instrumentation and Controls Engineering is about?

Have you read the article over at Wikipedia?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumentation

In a nutshell, it's the design of equipment for the measurement and control of processes or machines (whether that's chemical, manufacturing, or other). It can also be a good in into robotics and automation.

You may be interested in the International Society of Automation (ISA)--they're the big trade group for instrumentation and controls engineers, and can probably give you more resources, or even contacts in your local area:
