For example, a teacher who had been working on measurements of different process variables chose to teach all sensors including different types of thermal, displacement, position, motion, pressure, flow and optical sensors. A different substitute teacher chose to teach all topics about motors. They still introduced some basic concepts about process control system, however, the author and the department think the course can benefit students more if the courseware is redesigned at a different level. There is a need to change the existing courseware and establish a comparatively fixed pattern. Laboratory needs to be changed to match up the course contents and teaching philosophy.To

This hybridapproach fits well with that goal, and also reduces required carbon emissions inherently bydesign. The faculty, however, felt that a hands-on approach is too important to abandon.
