METHODOLOGYThe work-in-progress (WIP) lists and details our methodology as a sequence of steps (via astudy) to tackle the problem statement. Three programming languages listed in Table 2 and thedata set consisting of 820 first-year students is used for the study. We model our study as aclassification problem where a change to the attributes listed in Table 1 can fall into one of thetwo classes: Pass (YES) or not Failed (NO). There exist several machine learning techniques thatcan solve this classification problem. However, we use only previous researchers’ techniques forsimilar efforts to make the result(s) comparable. Due to space constraints, the WIP does reportthe initial

There were solutions or alternatives, butnone of them were more than either a small product for a single shower use or the van ownermaking something of their own design (which may be faulty or dangerous). A survey wasconducted to gain market insight of wants and needs by those who would be using the product,leading to potential solutions.

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
