Consequently, the topical coverage is relatively shallow and unrelated to context.Alford and Buckbee [2]stated that due to the skills gap many employers often send new processengineers to vendor and technical society control courses, and senior personnel spend significanttime training new hires. Suggested topics they believe should be included in process controleducation are: control systems hardware, instrumentation and electronic communications,analytical systems, safety instrumented systems
