Abstract
Some of the significant factors that teachers need to consider to impart process systems engineering education (PSE) to chemical engineering (ChE) students are discussed. Teachers need to involve students in the learning process and rely on active-learning and interactive models to impart information to students. They need to adopt the role of facilitators and rely on problem-solving and project-based learning models to impart PSE to chemical engineering students. These models create environments that allow representation of learning matter and promote better learning. A facilitator also needs to consider non-technical development of students, including generic attributes. The emphasis on improvement of generic attributes, along with engineering and technical skills help students to prepare for their professional careers.
