Abstract
Chemical engineering has been one of the leading industries since the Industrial Revolution; however, in the green age, chemical engineering is deemed a major culprit of the environmental problems. To deal with the challenges facing the industry, the related departments in higher education systems should contemplate adapting to the trend and providing a series of courses that meet the needs of the new era. The same is true for process systems engineering (PSE). This paper aims to point out a clear direction for future development of the core courses in PSE education, especially process control (PC), hoping the PSE to gain fresh momentum to play a key role in leading the industry and improving the welfare of human beings. ? 2016 Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers
