Understanding best practices in control engineering education using the concept of TPACK

This study aimed to design an integrated pedagogical approach to advance introductory Process Control Engineering Education through the application of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, and evaluating its impact on student learning. The research is initially being undertaken at Nottingham Trent University, UK but we will next adapt it to a case study in Libya. This paper aims to strengthen the teaching of introductory Process Control by using appropriate approaches in universities to improve the learning outcomes for students. From this work a new schematic for teaching Process Control has been developed and, moreover, a thoughtful best practice in introducing Process Control in engineering education can be developed.
