BEng Design Project 2

CHEN30142 BEng Design Project 2 20 Semester 2 Undergraduate Level 3 Antonios Anastasiou Unit coordinator 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Last part of a Bachelors ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 10.0 <div><div>Students, working in design teams, undertake an open-ended project to design a process to produce a specified product. Teams are supervised by academic ‘project managers’ who assist in definition of the task(s) to be carried out.Part 1 (CHEN30132) of the design project is performed by all members of the team, who work together to undertake a detailed design appraisal (including preliminary economic evaluation) and produce mass and energy balances for their preferred process. Part 2 (CHEN30142) is then carried out by team members individually, to establish the detailed design of agreed plant items, co-ordinated by the team as a whole. Part 3 (CHEN30152) is the final activity, where the team puts together the complete design and considers plant-wide process aspects such as safety, health and environment, as well as plant layout, overall process integration, economics and sustainability.</div></div>  <div><div>Students, working in design teams, undertake an open-ended project to design a process to produce a specified product.

As such, the main learning process is activity based and associated with the undertaking of an open-ended, minimally defined project. </div></div>  0 Other 100% Continuous Assessment  E-resources, such as discussion forums and both individual and group submissions through Turnitin, will be used. There will also be an element of peer assessment, which will be carried out online and considered as part of the teamwork assessment.
