frompractice to be suitable as the only hands-on experience for students in process control courses.It is common now that chemical engineering programs will include practical exposure toinstrumentation and process control, either through lab exercises in the process control course orother courses in the curriculum, such as a “unit ops” lab course. Even so, students still complainabout the gap between theory and practice in control.Chemical engineering education evolved in the 20th Century with a focus on large-scalecontinuous processing. Consequently, the traditional approach to process control education dealsalmost exclusively with continuous processes and primarily feedback control.

Since several hundred students enroll in over 25 sections of this course each fall,the workshop format was developed as an alternative to traditional one-shot library instruction,which is not practicable on this scale. To better assess how the workshops were serving thestudents in these large classes, a group of instructors from the class and the engineering librarianworked together to evaluate student success with research projects and overall informationliteracy within the freshman engineering curriculum. The first initiative was to design a citationstudy assessing submitted projects for quality and

heterogeneity of the student backgrounds, but a major contributor is the three-week timeframe for the courses. It is not likely that a longer time can be allotted in the foreseeable future, given the time commitments of visiting faculty at their home institutions and the limited financial resources at AUST for acquiring permanent faculty. Nonetheless, for the core courses to be useful as foundations for the Materials Program, they should be well assimilated by the students. A possible solution is to develop two-part core courses, e.g., Thermodynamics 1 and 2. Context and pedagogy. AUST is located in Africa. Should this make a difference in the Materials curriculum?
