,conducted by the AIChE Education Division on the curricular and pedagogical topics for ProcessControl, points to an average of approximately 40 hours of lecture, 11 hours of simulation, and 7hours of experimental laboratory per course [1]. In addition, more than 50% of respondentsrequire no lab reports [1], which can be interpreted as having no corresponding lab, confirmingthe perception that most process control courses in chemical engineering rely on classroomsettings and mathematical content [2]. “Systems Engineering, I: Dynamics and Modeling” is aclassical one-semester course in Process Control [3] and one of the two capstone courses forsenior students at the University of Pittsburgh.

In research (and teaching, too), he leverages his proficiencies in open source platforms such as R and Python and associated libraries (ggplot, gstat, dplyr, scipy, numpy, matplotlib etc). In a modest way, his research products have helped to extend the functionality of some existing geostatistical routines. For his efforts, he recently received the Best Paper award in the 2020 International Conference on Applied Informatics, sponsored by Springer and

Freeman’s analysis of student performance in undergraduate STEM disciplinesshowed that students are 1.5 times more likely to fail when they are only exposed to verbal lec-turing [3]. The focus of learning is slowly shifting towards more student-centered learning andaway from instructor-centered learning as pedagogies broaden.Several important unit operations covered in the chemical engineering curriculum involvepacked or fluidized beds where surface interactions of solids and fluids are very important. Flu-idized beds are commonly used in industrial applications such as surface coating, catalytic crack-ing, heat transfer, adsorption, and combustion [4

Our GTA cohort is somewhat heterogenous made up of a mixture ofrecent graduates and those with industrial experience, with some being entirely new to teaching whileothers have limited prior experience.The central research question guiding the study reported here is: whether there are any currentmechanisms that are illustrative of (potential) decisional capital, and how these could be furtherenhanced.

In themost recent survey of process control courses conducted through the Chemical EngineeringDivision of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), it was found that about44% of responding process control instructors assess students using some sort of laboratoryactivity [1]. While there is significant evidence to suggest student learning of process controlconcepts is enhanced through hands-on experiences [2], [3], the majority of process controlcourses do not integrate hands-on labs, perhaps due to limited access to process controlequipment. Indeed, the division process control survey concludes that “increasing enrollmentsare challenging the incorporation of physical laboratory exercises
