 Abstract –As the bio-based economy expands, Chemical Engineering graduates will find themselves in new contexts for which they must be prepared. The broad shift toward including biology in departmental research and teaching activities reflects this, but relatively little formal thought has been given to the pedagogy of biology within Chemical Engineering curricula. The case study presented here is centered on the use of a biological control system in a lab setting as the means by which advanced control concepts can be taught to upper-year and graduate students within a constructivist framework. This approach was successfully applied to achieve all of the learning outcomes for the lab, but student feedback indicated that structured collaboration and metacognitive activities should have been given higher priority to improve student experiences. A re-iteration of this framework for upper-year lab curriculum design based on student feedback is presented.

This International Congress was organised by the University College, Dar es Salaam, in conjunction with the Government of Tanzania, and with financial assistance from U.N.E.S.C.O. It was concerned with the related problems of research and teaching in African history, and the working plan covered four main points: African historiography, its methods, its emerging themes, and the teaching of African history.
