CHEM ENG 2010 - Principles of Process Engineering

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2015

This course prepares you to formulate and solve material & energy balances for both reactive and non-reactive systems. More fundamentally, it introduces the engineering approach by breaking a process down into its components, establishing the relations between known and unknown process variables, assembling the information needed to solve for the unknowns, and finally obtaining the solution using appropriate computational methods. The goal is for you to become familiar with numerous problem-solving strategies and to practice using them. This course is delivered through a combination of lectures, tutorials, and small group discovery via the design project.

    Specific Course Requirements
    HURDLE REQUIREMENTS

    A hurdle requirement is a minimum standard of achievement that a student must attain in order to successfully complete a course.  The School of Chemical Engineering has determined that each student must achieve a minimum of 50% in the continuous assessment component of any CHEM ENG coded course.  Failure to achieve 50% or greater in the continuous assessment in a course may result in an overall fail grade being awarded for the course even if you achieve 50% or more overall.
    Continuous assessment is where written works, tests, class participation, etc during the first 12 weeks of the semester.
  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
