ASSESSMENT DETAILS
Assessment Task Details Assessment Details: Marks % Mid Term Tests -1 Final Exam Experimental Project on Control Station software (Computer lab) Assignment Plant visit & Report Submission TOTAL ALL ASSESSMENTS ARE COMPULSORY The MID TERM TEST (closed book) will be conducted in the classrooms on 29 Aug 2011. There is a closed book Final Exam on this unit. ONLY HP10S Scientific Calculator has to be used during all examinations Projects: Group project(s) will involve the use of Control Station Software in the computer lab. It is important that all students participate in these projects to ensure a good understanding of this package in solving relevant control problems. Furthermore, part of this software will be required for the fourth year unit ChE 411 Advanced Process Control. Project report submission is due th on 10 Oct (Monday) 2011 or before 3.30 pm. Assignment: An assignment on ChE 328/514 carrying 5% weight age will be released end of teaching week 7 and due by end of teaching week 9. Plant visit: To illustrate the salient aspects of a typical industrial control system, a separate plant visit will be th th th arranged to Alcoa during three afternoon session of 5 , 12 and 19 Sept 2011 and also to th th th Kwinana-Chlor-Alkali plant on 5 , 19 and 26 Sept 2011 Students in Curtin Sarawak, Miri will be expected to visit an appropriate industrial plant. Lecture periods will be forfeited to accommodate these visits. Furthermore, a demonstration and lecture will be arranged with a process instrumentation and control equipment vendor to show and discuss the equipment to be discussed in the unit. Students will be expected to submit a very brief report of 3-4 pages on the plant visits and the demonstrations by the vendor. This report as well as attendance at these activities will constitute the assessment for this component of the unit. The due date for the reports will be announced when the visits commence. Late reports will not be marked and will receive a zero mark!

Calculator

While a scientific, programmable calculator will reduce the chance of making errors, most Class problems, tutorial problems, and all test and exam problems can be completed using any scientific calculator. Supplementary and Deferred Assessments Students granted a Supplementary or Deferred assessment will be notified via OCC. Please also note that the failure to attend the examination/assessment on the day and time set will result in a fail for the unit. Under no circumstances will alternative arrangements be made to suit individuals. Referencing Style Curtin Engineering advises students that Curtin University supports the "Chicago Referencing Style" for written work and oral presentations. For a guide to this style please see http://library.curtin.edu.au/referencing/index.html However, students are permitted to use other recognized styles that appear in the Engineering literature. Note also that individual lecturers can stipulate that a particular style is used when it best matches the type of work in the assessment of the particular unit. Awarding of Grades To pass this unit you must: Achieve a grade/mark greater than or equal to 5/50. Other_Awarding_of_Grade_Details

or a group of students discussing assignment content, identifying relevant references, and debating issues relevant to the subject. Plagiarism occurs when the work of another person, or persons, is used and presented as one's own, unless the source of each quotation or the piece of borrowed material is acknowledged with an appropriate citation. The University regards very seriously any acts of cheating, or dishonesty by way of plagiarism.
