What this paper is about
Environmental Engineering Design 2 covers the aspects of process design to produce solutions to environmental engineering challenges. Important aspects of design including process selection, process economics, process safety, process simulation and optimisation, and detailed process equipment design will be covered. Design teams of 3 to 4 students will be issued with a brief to develop an environmental engineering system and design the process to solve, manage and mitigate an environmental challenge. The process must be safe, sustainable, and economic. Principles of environmental, chemical and biochemical engineering will be utilised where appropriate in the develop of the solution and design of the process.
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/ (https://www.ieagreements.org/)
How this paper will be taught
The paper has three lectures per week, and two 2-hour lab sessions. One lab session will be a practical lab used primarily for project work, with the other being a computer based lab used for simulation and spread-sheeting. Please note that laboratory classes start in the first week of semester and are an essential part of the course. The paper announcements, materials and assessments are communicated and managed using Moodle.
The labs are an important part of the course and they are compulsory for you to attend and actively participate.
Lab 1 is a computer based lab where you will learn process simulation, optimisation and process design during the first half of the semester.
In Lab 2 you will participate in hands on design challenges and project based work in groups of 3 - 4. The first five of these design workshops will be assessed.
Both labs will be used for project work in the second half of the semester.

Assessments
How you will be assessed
Students are required to achieve a minimum of 50% in the Process Safety assignment in order to pass the course. Those who fail to do so will receive an IC for the paper. Students who do not achieve 50% will be given an additional opportunity to achieve a pass for the Process Safety assignment.
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.
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 100:0. There is no final exam.
