Assessment

Assessment Due Date Percentage  Description
Formal Report 10% Lab F - Distillation (short formal report) A short industrial report to immediate superior.
Management Report 1 20% LabB - Heat Exchanger (management report 1) Reports to management (due 1 week after the lab) Semester 1, term 2
Management Report 2 20% Lab C - Spray Drier (management report 2) Reports to management (due 1 week after the lab) Semester 2, term 3
Short Formal Report 1 35% LabD - Fermentation lab (formal report) A longer in depth analysis of results. Students will supplement their fermentation data with class data and perform augmented statistical analysis. Final report will be submitted ~4 weeks after the experiment
Short Formal Report 2 10% LabE Membrane filtration (short formal report) A rapidly-executed industrial report to immediate superior. The report is due on the same day that the lab is completed.
Workshop 5% LabA - P&ID Drawing A lab on P&IDs of CAPE's distillation column (approx 2 hours). Semester 1, Term 1


• 6 laboratory days with contact time 3-6 hours each, time of report preparation 10-25 hours for different report styles, total 130 hours

• Lecture attendance (approximately 15 hours)

Notes

All information about academic policies (e.g. special consideration, dishonest practice) can be found on the ENCH-Undergraduate LEARN page .

Relation to Other Courses
This is a compulsory course for Chemical and Process Engineering. This course builds on the skills acquired in second year chemical engineering laboratories, extending the range of reporting, allowing the student to take more initiative, and generally increasing the size of the plant used to pilot scale. The experiments are related to other ENCH 300 series courses currently being studied.
