A process control training simulator can enhance learning by integrating the theoretical abstraction of textbooks with the tactile nature of the lab and plant. The primary objective of a training simulator is education. It can motivate, help with visualization, and provide hands-on practice and experience. This article explores the use and benefits of the Control Station training simulator for process control education. Examples presented illustrate how the standard curriculum can be enhanced with a series of hands-on exercises and study projects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
