  • This paper explores the use and benefits of the Control Station1training simulator for processcontrol education. A process control training simulator provides an interactive learning environ-ment that can enhance learning by integrating the theoretical abstraction of textbooks with thetactile nature of the lab and plant. The primary objective of a training simulator is education. It canmotivate, help with visualization, and provide hands-on practice and experience. Examplespresented illustrate how the standard curriculum can be enhanced with a series of hands-onexercises and study projects.
