Abstract

Realistic workshops involving real‐time simulation of chemical processes are introduced for an undergraduate process‐control course in chemical engineering. The workshops are based on fundamental‐process models of industrial unit operations and are designed for the “hands‐on” learning of process control. These workshops can be used in a computer laboratory under all readily available commercial process simulation software, namely, HYSYS, Aspen Dynamics, and MATLAB. This paper reviews these workshops and how they are used for effective process control education of chemical engineers. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Comput Appl Eng Educ 9: 57–62, 2001
