Course Objectives
Students enrolled in this course will participate in the development of a process package, as an "employee" in an imaginary company, assigned to a section group. The course will simulate the main tasks of such an engineer; participants will be given the opportunity to demonstrate management and leadership skills. The end result of the course will be a complete process package, developed by team-work between the student-engineers of each company.

The Process Package

Volume 1.
o o o Process Description. Material and Energy Balances, presented in the form of a PFD and stream table. Plantwide control system design drawn on a separate PFD.

Volume 2,3,4 and 5.

For each process section: o PFD o P&ID o Equipment design sheets for each process unit, together with all calculations. o Instrumentation and control design sheets Important: Every document must be signed by the designer and an independent checker (from the same section).

Team Work
Tips: (a) Try to get organized in balanced section groups. (b) Try to balance the workload between groups. (c) Remember that the company as a whole need to deliver. One very strong group and three weak groups will not work! (d) Each engineering section leader will be responsible for ensuring organized work in his/her section and for the coordination with the other three groups. He should not have the world in his hand. (e) Credit will be given for demonstrating team spirit and for novel ideas for company promotion.
