Without the demographic data from the initialsurvey, it is unknown if these sophomores had ever read an engineering journal article before theone used for this design project.The terribly low response rate may be attributed to several possible factors:  The initial survey was not available when the recruitment flyer was distributed. A technology mistake was made when an available time frame was set for the survey but the students were not allowed to see the research project page, which had been hidden for testing during discussions with the IRB.  It was mentioned in class that the IRB insisted that the surveys be

These processes are intrinsically dynamic, in the sense thattheir variables are constantly changing with time; yet in most chemical engineering programs,the first and only course that focuses on dynamic behavior is PD&C. In this single course,students are required to develop a wide range of knowledge, abilities, and skills (KAS) coveringboth dynamics and control, such as those defined by Edgar et al. and
