survey characterized the current offerings of processcontrol as marked by transition. Both Laplace and time domain approaches are being utilized,computing tools and modern pedagogies are changing teaching approaches, and increasingenrollments are challenging the incorporation of physical laboratory exercises. Even with thecommonalities the course shares across implementations, like many chemical engineeringcourses there remains a wide range of approaches to teaching the course and a diverse selectionof topics taught.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank all of the instructors who completed this survey; the departmentchairs who forwarded the request; Frances Petrozelli who collected online information aboutcourse instructors of record

It makessense then that a polymer processing should not only teach this method, but provide a hands-ondemonstration of its use in a laboratory exercise.The experiment of interest in this work required students to operate a Morgan-Press injectionmolding machine priced around $25,000. In this experiment students produced molded circulardiscs with fiber filled and unfilled polypropylene produced by RTP materials. The RTPpolypropylene pellets prices vary on fiber filler content and is available by contacting themanufacturer. The Morgan-Press and molded discs are shown in Figure 1. Figure 1.

mostsignificant impact on student performance. This is encouraging, as it suggests that a deliberateinvitation to have student reflect on course content as it relates to their other chemicalengineering courses or the overall profession results in improved performance. This is in generalagreement with other findings in teaching and learning, which suggests reflection is a form ofcontent practice, and the different kinds of practice improve learning.5It is observed that the Personalization component on average has a negative correlation andcumulatively has no correlation with exam performance. The Thoughtful puzzle component hasno correlation with exam performance whether considered on average or cumulatively. This maynot mean that these components of the
