Still, the persistent difficultyexperienced by students over the years in attempting to grasp the more challenging concepts ofprocess control led me to try a different mode of instruction in 1996.In the Spring semester of 1996, I converted the classroom component of the course to an active-learning format. This was facilitated by being able to teach the course in the Bechtel ActiveLearning Center of the Integrated Teaching & Learning Laboratory (ITLL), a new instructionalfacility in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Colorado.
