LEARNING OUTCOMES On successful completion of this unit you will be able to: 1.
According to IChemE, “Chemical engineering design is the creation of process, product or plant to meet a defined need”. Consequently, this is the most significant of all the courses that you will do for your Chemical Engineering Degree at Curtin University – both in terms of number of credits (50) to be earned, and overall importance in your professional future as Chemical Engineers. The emphasis will be kept to encourage students to take a broad perspective on the problems and to prepare them develop innovations in design, analysis and synthesis with particular concern to environment and sustainable development. The students are supposed to extensively apply their knowledge of chemical engineering fundamentals taught in the other units.
LEARNING ACTIVITIES Most of the lecturing will be finished in the first half of the semester to provide students more time to perform the design tasks and compile their reports
STUDENT FEEDBACK For Semester 1 and Semester 2 eVALUate is open for student feedback: 11 May - 21 June Semester 1 12 October - 22 November in Semester 2 For other study periods see http://evaluate.curtin.edu.au/info/dates_2009.cfm We welcome your feedback as one way to keep improving this unit. Later this semester, you will be encouraged to give unit feedback through eVALUate, Curtin’s online student feedback system (see http://evaluate.curtin.edu.au).
LEARNING RESOURCES Kirk-Othmer encyclopaedia of chemical technology, 25 Volumes (Curtin Library Call Number R660.03 ENC, Level 3 Reference Collection). This encyclopaedia contains information about most of the chemicals – including properties, if you are lucky. Ullmann's encyclopaedia of industrial chemistry (Curtin Library Call Number R660.03ULL). Description is same as above. Unit operations handbook / edited by John J. McKetta. (Curtin Library Call Number 660.284UNI). Two volumes of this handbook give information on designing various unit operations. Chemical process equipment: selection and design / Stanley M. Walas. (Curtin Library Call Number Q 660.283 WAL). This is an excellent book on equipment design. Process Heat Transfer/ D. Q. Kern. (Curtin Library Call Number, 660.28427 KER). Classical book on heat transfer equipment design. Mass Transfer/ Mass-transfer operations / Robert E. Treybal. 3d ed. (Curtin Library Call Number, 660.28423 TRE). Classical book on mass transfer equipment design.

Assessment Task Details Assessment: Design project aims to evaluate your ability to work both as individuals and as committed members of a team. Therefore, marks have been allotted for both parts – 54% as Team and 46% as individuals. Memos: Each group will have to submit a 2-page (A4 paper with at least 2 cm margin on all sides) hard copy memo every week (Weeks 2-6). It should be noted that you are required to submit an extended memo in Week 7 prior to your presentations. This memo should give an overview on your activities up to Week 7. E-mail submissions will not be marked. Individual memos on equipment design will have to be submitted in weeks 8-11 in identical manner. The template for memos will be placed on WebCT before Week 2. There is huge amount of information available on internet on memo-writing, two such good places are: owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/pw/p_memo.html; online.nmit.vic.edu.au/courses/ Business/com401/html/memo.html Presentation: In week 7, every group will make a 10 minute presentation to report the progress made during the past 6 weeks. This presentation will supplement your memo and it will be your chance to strengthen your claims and assumptions in individual projects. The 10-minute limitation will be strictly observed. There will be a 5-minute question-answer session immediately after the presentation, where other groups will have opportunity to ask appropriate questions. On given day, only one of the members will give the presentation; however, others (of the same team) sitting in the audience may step in to help the speaker during question-answer session. While it is difficult to prepare any one for a presentation as each individual has his/her own personal style,

the following CEP article and web link describes important attributes of a good presentation: Give Memorable Presentations, Chemical Engineering Progress, January 2003, Pp. 84. http://www.casca.ca/ecass/issues/2002-js/features/dirobertis/talk.htm
Supplementary and Deferred Assessments Students granted a Supplementary or Deferred assessment will be notified via OCC. Supplementary and Deferred assessments will be held on Wednesday 17th, Thursday 18th and Friday 19th February 2010. Please also note that the failure to attend the examination/assessment on the day and time set will result in a fail for the unit. Under no circumstances will alternative arrangements be made to suit individuals.
Referencing Style Curtin Engineering advises students that Curtin University supports the "Chicago Referencing Style" for written work and oral presentations. For a guide to this style please see http://library.curtin.edu.au/referencing/index.html However, students are permitted to use other recognised styles that appear in the Engineering literature. Note also that individual lecturers can stipulate that a particular style is used when it best matches the type of work in the assessment of the particular unit.
Awarding of Grades To pass this unit you must: •
Achieve a grade/mark greater than or equal to 5/50.
