Abstract
The authors describe an experiment in improving the teaching of chemical engineering in an Indonesian technological university with the assistance of Dutch counterparts. The project approach used was then applied to other universities and disciplines and became part of a general government-sponsored programme aimed at improving the quality of teaching in Indonesian universities generally. The authors claim that practically-orientated projects concerned with the improvement of teaching effectiveness can, by dissemination, lead to a general improvement in the quality and quantity of output from universities.
