CHEM ENG 4056 - Process Design IV

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2024

This course involves a small group of students working as a team to design a nominated chemical or bioprocessing manufacturing plant. The tasks include the study of the available processes (or the development of innovative systems), process and utility selection, calculation of material and energy balances, preparation of flow sheets and drawings of the plant layout, and simple economic analysis. A thorough synthesis of the literature is included and involves communication of the pre-feasibility study and front end design in a design report and oral presentation.

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    In accordance with the Assessment for Coursework Programs Policy, Procedure 1a. i: An exemption from the stated requirement that group assessment activities total no more than 50% has been granted.

    Assessment Detail
    The assessment will contain:

    Two group reports
    (containing individual and group components) will be submitted to the project academic supervisor and assessors for review. It will contain a comprehesive, in-depth literature review and technology analysis of the design processing plant. A complete mass balance (and heat/energy balance - subject to availability of data/detail), block, process and utlity flow diagrams, and initial economic evaluation of the front end engineering design (FEED) of the plant will be required. Engagement with a professional industry mentor throughout the project will be required to ensure the practical and realistic design of the plant.
    The pre-feasibility study of the FEED of the plant will be presented at the semester in the form of a group oral presentation to your peers, academic supervisor, industry mentor and other stakeholders.
    Submission

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
