that has little meaning in the real world. Seniors take to and light up whenlearning and implementing their final design projects. There is a sense that all the courses led tothis moment and now it can be applied to building an actual process. And yet control is the subjectarguably most critical to a graduating chemical engineer that most likely will have a first industrialjob as a process engineer. What does a process engineer do? Well, she is responsible formaintaining a process of unit operation(s) to run at specified conditions 7 days a week, 24 hours aday. Yes, she is essentially doing control. Look again at Figure 1. Realize that those of us that arecontrol engineers, the applied mathematicians of the engineering world, do not cover all

that will help improve learning in undergraduate engineering courses?There are three essential challenges that we face in developing such an approach. First, under-graduate students in engineering (and other technical) courses are quite different, with respect totheir willingness to participate in involved discussions with their peers, from the children that Pi-aget’s work focused on. While most young children, after perhaps an initial period of reluctance,willingly engage in such discussions, many of our students, unlike perhaps students in the socialsciences, do not. This is especially the case with many female students as well as students fromunderrepresented groups

Employingrelatively simple mechanical systems, well known nonlinear dynamics phenomena such as thejump phenomenon due to stiffness hardening/softening, self excitation/limit cycle, parametricresonance, irregular motion, and the basic concepts of stability are introduced. In addition, thestudents are introduced to essential analysis techniques such as phase diagrams, Poincaré maps,and nondimensionalization. Equations of motion governing such nonlinear systems arenumerically integrated with the Matlab ODE solvers rather than analytically to ensure that thestudent’s comprehension of the subject is not hindered by mathematics

If we can ensure they feel that the examinations are fair, thenwe can decrease stress levels and build positive rapport with them which usually will translateinto greater learning. The first step in creating an effective examination is to determine whatmaterial to test. The place to start is with the course objectives. The course objectives, asdiscussed above, should be relevant and important to the mastery of the course material, andshould be measurable or observable. Properly
