Synopsis
: This project is aimed at equipping the students with the skills and creativity in designing
a process plant in the absence of complete data. In particular, it emphasizes on the key
elements of process design which include process creation/synthesis, process
analysis, process evaluation and process optimization in generating inherently safe,
economic and environmentally friendly processes. Students will acquire the skill for
hands on application and integration of the principles of chemical engineering required
to design a process plant. Students will also learn the technique of writing a
comprehensive technical plant design report.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY
At the beginning of the semester, a project briefing will be given by the coordinator and students will be divided into
teams (minimum 4, maximum 5). A supervisor or a pair of supervisors will be assigned to each group. The project
topics will be given by the coordinators or suggested by the supervisors. Approximately 4 groups will be given the
same topic (chemicals) but the capacity of the production can be different. This is to create competitiveness between
groups and to avoid too many different topics.
The progress of each of the project design teams will be supervised continuously by the supervisors and must be
according to the project schedule. In Week 9 of the schedule, all teams need to prepare for interim evaluation where
they need to write reports and also give presentations. During the interim presentation session, a group of panels will
be evaluating the progress of the team and provide any positive feedback in order to improve further. All teams need
to consider the comments given and improve accordingly.
After the interim evaluation, all project design team will continue with the remaining parts of the project. Throughout
the duration of the project, whenever suitable, a series of seminars will be conducted covering topics which are not
extensively covered in the syllabus of the program. In this seminars, the students can gain a lot of information which
can be useful for their project. Besides that, the students also need to prepare log book containing the information on
the progress of their project and also conduct industrial visit to relevent industries.
In terms of the generic skills, oral communication skills will be assessed by panels during the interim and final
presentation session while teamworking and leadership skills will be assessed through peer rating and observation
from supervisor. Besides that, ethics, entreprenuership and problem solving skills will also be assesed by the
supervisors through observation during supervision.
