of the 2023 ASEE Midwest Section Conference), one industry seems to garner less attention than it deserves: the process control and instrumentation industry. Process control and instrumentation is a field of engineering that deals with the monitoring and control of machines, systems and processes across various industries. It involves the use of sensors, actuators, controllers, software and hardware to measure and manipulate physical variables such as temperature, humidity, pressure, flow, level, pH, force, speed, etc. Process control and instrumentation aims to improve the efficiency, quality, safety and reliability of various industrial operations [1]. Some of the major industries that use process control and

This paper deals with one very inexpensive way tostudy transient boiling and to teach students about phase changes in fluids such as water. Bothsensible and latent heating can be demonstrated in this simple demonstration/experiment.Starting with an insulated (on the sides only) 3-inch copper pipe cap, a heating plate, water, ameasuring cup, a timer and a k-type thermocouple, a measured amount of water that is heated toboiling.

Process safety has been an important aspect of practicing chemical engineers since thediscipline began. However, it was not until major process safety incidents, increasedgovernment regulation, and requirements from degree accrediting organizations that academiabegan to formally adopt the concept of process safety as a learning outcome. This outcomecreated a gap in knowledge for faculty members that did not have the experience of being apracticing engineer. Even for the faculty with practice experience, a perceived lack of resourcesexisted from not having taken a process safety
