Abstract
The process control course should continue to be a required course for chemical engineering undergraduates because of its fundamental importance and because a large number of graduates are employed in manufacturing or fields connected to manufacturing. Process control technology has changed considerably during the past 15 years, requiring that textbooks to be updated accordingly. In this paper, we discuss some of these changes in the context of revising one of the leading textbooks in process control, "Process Dynamics and Control". Trends that influence how process control will be taught in the future are identified.
