Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

Process Engineering Design 2 covers the aspects process design to produce valuable products and commodities. Important aspects of design include process selection, process economics, process safety, process simulation and optimisation, and detailed process equipment design will be covered. Design teams of 3 to 4 students will be issued with a brief to design a process to mass produce a specified product. Principles of chemical, process, and bioprocess engineering will be utilised in the development and design of the process.

The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1-WA11. Explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/

Paper Structure

Edit Paper Structure Content

The paper has three lectures per week, and two 2-hour lab sessions. One lab/workshop session will be a practical design lab, with the other being a computer based lab used for simulation and spread-sheeting. Please note that laboratory classes start in the first week of semester and are an essential part of the course. The first five design workshops will be assessed. The paper announcements, materials and assessments are communicated and managed using Moodle. Additional support material will be posted on moodle.

Assessment

Edit Assessments Content

Students are required to achieve a minimum of 50% in the Process Safety assignment in order to pass the course. Those who fail to do so will receive an IC for the paper. Students who do not achieve 50% will be given an additional opportunity to achieve a pass for the Process Safety assignment.

Samples of your work may be required as part of the Engineering New Zealand accreditation process for BE(Hons) degrees. Any samples taken will have the student name and ID redacted. If you do not want samples of your work collected then please email the engineering administrator, Natalie Shaw (natalie.shaw@waikato.ac.nz), to opt out.
