411-446 Research Project

411-332 Particle Mechanics and Processing, 411-333 Thermodynamics and Reactor Engineering 2, 411-335 Biochemical/Environmental Engineering 1B, 411-336 Process Dynamics and Control, 411-337 Practical Work and Computer Laboratory, 411-441 Heat and Mass Transport Processes 2.

Students successfully completing this unit should be able to plan and conduct an independent research project on process engineering.

Candidates will undertake as individuals or as a member of a team a designated investigative project which could involve a critical literature review, experimental research and/or development, theoretical modelling, process simulation and/or the solution of an industrial problem. Rigorous planning and scheduling of the project, time management, written and verbal technical communication, interpretation of results and team work will be required.

A written report of approximately 3000 words (excluding appendices) contributing 50% to the total assessment, along with an oral presentation (25%) and an assessment of the quality of the research work (25%).
