Chemical Engineering Projects 4 (U00362)

? Credit Points : 20 ? SCQF Level : 10 ? Acronym : EEL-4-CHPRJ

Final year project activites in chemical engineering, other than design case studies and projects, are covered by this course. There will be a number of small handin exercises relating to practical design of chemical processes and plants, together with a study project which consists of a literature survey, a self-study module or an experimental or computational investigation related to a research topic. The study project may contain elements of more than type of activity under these heading. Any research work is expected to be of relatively modest scope. As part of the study project, students prepare and defend a poster on the subject of their work.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

Students will:
- master practical design methods and their application;
- demonstrate the ability to use published reference material, including textbooks, technical journals and web articles as the study project requires;
- show that they can develop a critical review of the specified study project subject matter;
- demonstrate the ability to write a substantial technical report.

Assessment Information

Students will be assessed on:
- the handin exercises (totalling 40% of the assessment);
- the study project (contributing 60% of the assessment).
The study project assessment will be subdivided into an assessment of the poster (6%), the study project report (24%) and an assessment of the student's performance on the project (30%) for a total of 60%.
