What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content

The paper builds on the introduction to engineering design taught in ENGEN180. It covers mass and energy balance calculations used by chemical, process and environmental engineers in process designs for chemical, biological and materials manufacturing plants, and for water and waste water treatment systems. The students will apply these techniques to solve process design problems. Process Safety is also introduced.

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/assets/Uploads/Documents/IEA-Graduate-Attributes-and-Professional-Competencies-2021.1-Sept-2021.pdf

A marking rubric and instructions for report layout will be provided as part of the Project Brief.

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.

Edit How you will be assessed Content

The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 60:40. There is no final exam. The final exam makes up 40% of the overall mark.

The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 60:40 or 0:0, whichever is more favourable for the student. The final exam makes up either 40% or 0% of the overall mark.
