Technion, Haifa, Israel


Lecture Objectives

Be familiar with the course structure and objectives.Know the main components of a project package.Familiarized yourself with the specific project to be executed this semester.Have begun discussions on section groups in the first (informal) company meeting.

After this lecture, you should:




Course ObjectivesStudents 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-workbetween the student-engineers of each company.

Percentage of GradeComponent

Please note that to pass the course, you must pass the Proficiency Exam. Students who fail the exam will be graded according to the exam alone.

The Individual Performance grade will account for attendance and contribution in group meetings, presentation skills demonstrated, and performance in the oral exam.




The Process Package

Volume 2,3,4 and 5.For each process section:o PFDo P&IDo Equipment design sheets for each process unit, together

with all calculations.o Instrumentation and control design sheets

Volume 1.o Process Description.o Material and Energy Balances, presented in the form of a

PFD and stream table.o Plantwide control system design drawn on a separate PFD.

Important: Every document must be signed by the designer and an independent checker (from the same section).

Team Work

(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.

Tips:


Let’s Take a Break.After the break, there will be a 30 min staff meeting for each company.

Blue Technologies in Classroom 3.

Red Associates in Classroom 4.

Green Engineering in Classroom 5.

Objectives of the meeting – to begin to discuss the makeup of the four section teams, and to start thinking about who will serve as the leader of each group.




Deliverables – Page 1

(a) A company logo;

(b) The name of the group leader of each of the four engineering groups;

(c) A PFD of the complete system, including a preliminary plant-wide control system.

20th March 2005.Each company will deliver a single document, signed by all members of the engineering teams, that provides:



(a) The names of students comprising each engineering group;

(b) A detailed account of the division of labor between the section groups (i.e., which equipment items are the responsibility of each group);

(c) A separate PFD for each section.

3rd April 2005.Each company will deliver a single document, signed by all members of the engineering teams, that provides:





(a) Volume 1 - Process Description, Material and Energy Balances, Control System Design and Process Profitability Analysis.

(b) Volumes 2-5 – Designs of Reactor Section, Stabilization Section, Product Column Section, Biphenyl Column Section, each including detailed PFD, P&ID and equipment design.

7th June 2005.Each company will deliver a five-volume process package, each signed by all members of the engineering teams, and supported by a presentation:
