blind spot [35]. An expert identifies the type of problemwith ease and without conscious thought [36]. Because problem identification occurs so easilyand naturally, the expert may never mention that they first had to identify the problem type norexplain how they made that identification. Instead, the expert immediately starts to implementthe general procedure for solving that type of problem. In this way, the procedure is notexplicitly mentioned or taught and it is not associated with the type of the problem. Instead it ispresented implicitly so that the student is left to (a) generalize the steps in the solution processfrom watching the expert apply them and then (b) associate those steps with that particularproblem type. Some experts describe

Five years later the environmentalengineering program was incorporated, and the department renamed the School of Chemical,Biological, and Environmental Engineering (CBEE). Since this time, CBEE has worked towarda common curricula for these three “process engineering” degree programs where appropriate.Figure 1 summarizes the student distribution from the past 3 years, showing also

This problem was adapted from the Thermal andTransport Science Concept Inventory developed by Ron Miller and coworkers .16 The assignedproblem had 4 multiple choice options. However, unlike the Concept Inventory tests, nojustification is given for each choice. Rather, students are asked to provide their own justificationin a short answer text box that accompanies the problem (see Appendix B). We term this activity,a “short answer follow-up”. The use of short answer follow-ups offers students the opportunityto practice reflection on their selection of multiple choice answers. It has been shown thatdescriptions of one's

Thathaving been said, the practical knowledge of how a feedback controller functions, and how theyare used in an industrial setting, can be imparted in a couple of lecture hours, although not withany real understanding of control theory. The student is left with a technician’s understanding ofcontrollers, adequate to use and design with them, but not a deep understanding.The processes that are found in the process industries have hundreds of simple feedback loops,but few with dynamics that both a) difficult to control, and b) tackled well by linear controltheory. It is useful for a chemical process control engineer to understand how to deal withprocesses with significant dead time using some form of model predictive control, and how torecognize and

13 We believe that our experiences can be useful to several groups. First, our choices ofPSE topics for required and elective courses can be used as a reference by departments indesigning their programs, specifically the required PSE material. Second, departmentsconsidering streams can use the ideas here, for example, the use of course options to strengthen astream, when designing streams in other technical areas. Finally, a few departments will beconsidering a strong undergraduate program in PSE, and the program that we have implementedcan serve as a guide for their decisions.References1.
