GRADING All the grading will be based on the design prject. In addition there will be an evaluation given to you by your peers. For the design there will be biweekly group reports, a mid- term written and oral report, and a final written and oral report. To achieve a grade of 2.0 you must meet the course objectives. A higher grade will demonstrate your mastery of the subject. TEXT Park, Chan S. 2007 Contemporary Engineering Economics, 4th ed. Addison Wesley; Smith, R. 2005 Chemical Process: Design and Integration, McGraw Hill Turton , R.2003 et al. Analysis, Synthesis, and Design of Chemical Processes, 2nd ed. Other: Powerpoint handouts and articles will be provided in class. COURSE OBJECTIVES Course will provide students with fundamental knowledge and skills to do an engineering process design. The class will be structured to provide an understanding of the engineering design process, an understanding and ability to apply basic engineering economic concepts, and will reinforce application of modern engineering analysis tools. An important element of course will be concepts required to produce (design) a product that meets given specifications and financial constraints. This course is a synthesis of the knowledge and skills obtained in earlier courses. In this class, students will be required to integrate knowledge from earlier courses to solve a complex, open-ended design problem. The design must meet common engineering standards and will be constrained by typical considerations such as environmental laws, local policies, and of course economic performance. Specific considerations in the design will include most of the following: economic, marketability, environmental, sustainability, ethical, health and safety, social, and political.

LEARNING GOALS The following are the major topics and skills the students should possess upon completion of this course: 1. Engineering design process 1. Estimate classes accuracy, approach, cost 2. Conceptualization of bioresource processes 1. Process flow diagrams 2. Specifying process conditions 3. Bioresource process issues (e.g. raw material heterogeneity) 4. Safety 3. Engineering Economics 1. Understanding financial statements 2. Estimation of operating and capital costs 3. Depreciation of capital assets 4. Corporate taxes 5. Profitability analysis 6. Understanding interest and financial analysis criteria; present value, equivalent annual worth, rate of return (Spring Quarter) 4. Process optimization 1. Process simulation and approaches to optimization 2. Methods to analyze process performance 5. Product considerations 6. Product quality 1. Statistical quality control 7. Optimization of properties 8. Societal impacts 1. Environmental 2. Ethics 3. Safety 4. Regulations

Modern simulation tools are used to carry out part of the design Formal oral and written reports on the design problem are required The design is presented as loosely defined scenario that students must reduce to solvable problems. The design problem requires students to apply scientific and engineering principles to solve open-ended problems The design problem requires students to use professional judgement to choose between alternatives. Formal reports on the design problem are required, students are required to assess the quality of their design. Students work in teams on design problem. Environmental and societal issues associated with the proposed design are researched and incorporated into final design. Students need to apply information skills to find material necessary for the design. Importance of life long learning will be stressed in class and by industry guest speakers.
