The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) is a nonprofit, non-governmental accrediting agency for programs in applied and natural science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology. ABET accreditation provides assurance that a college or university program meets the quality standards of the profession for which that program prepares graduates. The following are course outcomes for ABET accreditation for this course.

ABET Student Outcomes

1. Complex Problem Solving (ABET Student Outcome 1): Students will be able to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. Engineering Design (ABET Student Outcome 2): Students will be able to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs, considering public health, safety, and welfare, along with global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
3. Knowledge and Learning (ABET Student Outcome 7): Students will be able to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

BYU Course Objectives

1. Feedback Control Equipment (BYU Course Objective): Students will be able to design a simple feedback loop to control process equipment.
2. Transient Mass, Species, and Energy Balances (BYU Course Objective): Students will be able to set up and solve transient mass, species, and energy balances.
3. Feedback Control Loop Tuning (BYU Course Objective): Students will be able to tune a single feedback control loop.
4. Process Control Terminology and Strategies (BYU Course Objective): Students will be able to define process control terminology and understand control strategies such as feedback control, feed-forward control, and cascade control; as well as the difference between linear and nonlinear systems.
5. Fitting Linear Models (BYU Course Objective): Students will be able to fit data from step or pulse tests to linear models.
6. Closed-loop Behavior (BYU Course Objective): Students will be able to predict the closed-loop behavior and evaluate the stability of simple control loops.
7. Historical Data (BYU Course Objective): Students will be able to identify process dynamics and improve control strategies using historical process data.

Electrical Concepts for Chemical Engineers

1. Electrical Circuit Analysis (BYU Course Objective): Students will be able to analyze and solve direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) circuit problems, applying Kirchhoff's Laws, Ohm's Law, and understanding impedance in chemical and biochemical systems.
2. Sensors and Process Monitoring (BYU Course Objective): Students will be able to describe, select, and integrate electrical sensors and signal conditioning techniques for monitoring processes in industrial and medical settings. This includes understanding how to appropriately measure key process variables such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, mixture composition, and liquid level.
3. Motor and Drive Applications (BYU Course Objective): Students will be able to explain the operating principles of DC and AC motors and associated control systems, as applied to pumps, valves, and chemical and biochemical process equipment.
4. Electrical Safety in Chemical Engineering (BYU Course Objective): Students will demonstrate knowledge of electrical safety measures, including grounding, intrinsically safe circuits, and protection methods for hazardous environments in chemical and biochemical plants.

ABET Outcome Assessments

There are seven ABET outcomes including: 1. Problem-Solving, 2. Design, 3. Communication, 4. Ethics, 5. Teamwork, 6. Experimentation, 7. Learning. This course assesses the following:
