LEARNING OUTCOMES
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to: Have an appreciation of the mechanical design aspects associated with a chemical plant and an understanding of the role of mechanical engineer in plant design and operations.

LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Teaching mode: Time allocation: Commence: Last Class: Lectures and tutorials 5 hours per week for 12 weeks Tuesday, 1 March 2010 Friday, 4 June 2010

STUDENT FEEDBACK
For Semesters 1 and Semester 2 eVALUate is open for student feedback in teaching weeks 7-12. For other study periods see http://evaluate.curtin.edu.au/info/dates.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, Curtins online student feedback system (see http://evaluate.curtin.edu.au). In Semester 1, 2009 the response rate for eVALUate was around 25 % with total enrolments being 188. Some sample notable feedback includes:
provide us more in-class problem to help students to fully understand the concepts clearer explanation needs to be given and more examples can be provided in class more calculations with clearer examples and explanation. More interactive of explanation to make the unit lively

LEARNING RESOURCES
Blackboard based material covering only lecture slides will be made available as supplemental material. This is not a lecture/tutorial (problem-solving) course such as you have come to expect and find familiar. There is no adequate textbook available that includes the range of topics to be covered, or the topics in relation to practical applications rather than theoretical considerations. For this reason the unit is designed as a library resource-based, reading and self-study module.

Students must be prepared to obtain information from journals and design handbooks, and also to spend a 'reasonable' amount of time reading and assessing/summarizing the best available material. The formal class sessions will only provide a starting point for study - an introduction or overview.

TEXT BOOK
You will need to purchase the following textbook in order to complete this unit: Peters, M. S. and Timmerhaus, K. D., 2003, 'Plant Design and Economics for Chemical th Engineers' 5 Edition, McGraw-Hill, New York.

Project Report Submission The tasks required for the project should be divided between all members of the team. Each team member is required to write up their section of the design and all sections combined into the final, composite report. This report should include executive summary, conclusions and th recommendations. The project reports are due on Friday, 4 June 2010. The University regards very seriously any acts of cheating, or dishonesty by way of plagiarism (claiming the work of others as your own).
