Course Description |
This i=
s a
capstone course in the chemical engineering program. This class is divided
into three- or four-person groups. Each group must complete an open-ended
process design problem, including equipment specification and economics |

Textbook |
The principal textbook for t=
his
course is An=
alysis, Synthesis,=
and Design of Chemical Processes, 2nd ed. by Richard T=
urton,
et al., Prentice Hall, 2003, ISBN: 0130647926=

Policy on Cheat=
ing |
Students found cheating/plagiarizing will be immediately referred to the Dean of Students and the NJIT Committee on Professional Conduct and subject to Disciplinary Probation, a permanent marking on the record, possible dismissal and a grade of 'F' in the course. All submitted assignme= nts are carefully checked for similarities, and plagiarism and guilty students will be identified. You= have chosen the field that requires that highest degree of ethics. You will be held to the highest standard. |

|
Projects |
D= uring this semester we will participate in three projects to be completed on ti= me. The first two projects will be individual efforts. The thi= rd project will be a group project |

Grading |
Final grades are calculated as follows:
Final course grades will be
assigned on the following basis: 910+ - 1000 A 870+ - <910 B+ 800+ - <870 B 770+ - <800 C+ 700+ - <770 C 600+ - <700 D 0 - <600 F These will be difficult to a=
ttain.
There is little chance that these cutoffs will be altered as a result of
overall class performance (i.e., no curve). G=
rade I
(incomplete) will be given only under extraordinary circumstances and at =
the
sole discretion of the instructor B. Point Deducti=
ons Points/credits d=
ue to
the Student may be withheld by the Teacher on account of defective work,
breach of contract, default, non-performance (as an individual or as lead=
er
and/or member of a team) or for the use of subStuden=
ts
as sub contractors (not your work). C. Point Adjustm=
ents Credits otherwise due to the Student may be adjusted by the
Teacher after reviewing the results of any Student Peer Evaluations. D. Other Notes: 1) The amounts of
credit awarded for each segment may vary from zero (0) credits for defect=
ive
and erroneous work to the maximum listed above for outstanding work. The
Student (as part of a team) may not necessarily receive the same credits =
as
others on the team for any part of the Project, due to the amount and qua=
lity
of the work performed. 2) Not all team members may receive the same grade depending= on any Peer evaluations of work performed. |

Electronic Copi=
es |
All reports and
presentations material must be sent via email attachment. Your reports will be processed t=
hrough
Turnitin.Com to check for similarities between your report, your
classmate’s reports, prior student reports, and the entire internet=
. Mass similarities will be consid=
ered a
violation of the ethics policy. |

Project 1 |
Each Student sha=

complete and turn over to the Teacher the following for the given project.
Documentation will be titled “Process Flow Diagram ConstructionR=
21;. The report will consist of: (a)
a block flow diagram sketch. The diagram may be either electr=
onic
using a tool such as Visio, Word, Autocad, or
equivalent, or may be manually drawn using draftsman’s tools. (b)
a material balance sheet. (c)
An appendix containing all the calculations, derivatio=
ns,
data, graphs and references in a form satisfactory to the Teacher. This appendix must be well organ=

t to
remove any member of a team who in the teacher’s opinion does littl=
e or
no work, whose work is substandard, or is disruptive to the team. The rem=

ized
by loss of all credits for each Project. D. Title The Teacher shall
retain all rights to the work including, but limited to drawings, data,
