Process Control

This unit will explore cleaner production and sustainability concepts, the principles of process design anddevelopment and associated flow sheets, systematic approaches to waste minimisation in process and utilitysystems, the methodology of life cycle assessment and application of life cycle assessment to processes andproducts. These themes will be developed in lectures and supported by student project work related to selectedindustrial processes.

Your Feedback to UsMonash is committed to excellence in education and regularly seeks feedback from students,employers and staff. One of the key formal ways students have to provide feedback isthrough the Student Evaluation of Teaching and Units (SETU) survey. The University‟sstudent evaluation policy requires that every unit is evaluated each year. Students arestrongly encouraged to complete the surveys. The feedback is anonymous and provides theFaculty with evidence of aspects that students are satisfied and areas for improvement.

For more information on Monash‟s educational strategy, see: www.monash.edu.au/about/monash-directions/directions.html and on student evaluations,see: www.policy.monash.edu/policy-bank/academic/education/quality/student-evaluation-policy.html

Previous Student Evaluations of this UnitIn response to the last SETU of this unit, the following changes have been made:

The lecture slides were modified to incorporate short quizzes and more examples to aidlearning.

This unit will assessments or presentations that will include importance of process controlin industry by highlighting case studies

Teaching and Learning Method

This unit consists of weekly lectures and practice classes (tutorials), plus one laboratoryexperiment demonstrating control principles. Learning in the unit is mainly through thelectures, assignments, lab and tutorial practice sessions. In some lecture and/or tutorialsessions, interactive “multiple choice questions” quizzes are given. These are highlyrecommended based on previous class experiences in CHE3162.

Tutorial allocation:

There are three 2-hours of practice classes scheduled each week, commencing in week 2.Students must enroll in one practice class only using Allocate Plus. We need to keep thenumbers in each class balanced since we have a limited number of “clickers” available foreach class, and over crowding in tutorials means that there is not enough clickers for theentire class.

Communication, participation and feedback:

Monash aims to provide a learning environment in which students receive a range of ongoingfeedback throughout their studies. In this unit it will take the form of group feedback viapractice classes, individual feedback, peer feedback, self-comparison, verbal and writtenfeedback, discussions in class, as well as more formal feedback related to assignment marksand grades. Students/You are encouraged to draw on a variety of feedback to enhancetheir/your learning





7

Teaching Approach

This unit consists of lectures and tutorial classes with 2 assignments, 1 mid-term test and alaboratory report.

Many Process Control concepts will be taught during lectures throughout the semester.Learning in this unit is mainly through lectures that will occasionally contain short group

discussions and quizzes. Tutorials will enable the application of theories, which were taught inlectures to solve practical problems. The first assignments is an online quiz on practicalprocess control, second assignment will involve use of Vissim software and tutorials andtutorials.

All students will complete 1 laboratory session on Process Control rig during the semesteraccording to respective groupings. In Week 8, students will be assessed in a mid-term test.

Extensions and penalties

The due dates for the submission of assignments are given in the previous section. Pleasemake every effort to submit work by the due dates. A standard 10% late per day penaltyapplies. Students are advised to NOT assume that granting of an extension is a matter ofcourse.

If you need an extension for any of the assignments, the lab, or you are unable to sit the mid-semester test, you must a submit written request no later than 2 days after the originalassignment or test date using the “Request for Special Consideration – In Class Assessment”form, available at: www.monash.edu/exams/assets/docs/in-semester.pdf and attachsupportive evidence such as medical certificate (see link for accepted evidence). This formshould be submitted to the Chemical Engineering Office in B36.

The unit coordinator will review your application and you will be notified via email of theoutcome of you application and the arrangements, including whether any penalty in marks willapply. Note that other lecturers or tutors cannot grant special consideration for assignmentsor tests.

If you are late in applying for an extension or you don‟t have a good reason, you should stillsubmit the work, but 10% of the total marks available for that assessment component will

usually be deducted for each day late.

No assignment will be accepted once an assignment has been returned to theclass. Resubmission of assignments is not permitted.

Remember, you are required to keep an up-to-date copy of all submitted assignments tosafeguard against the loss of work through accident or error.

Safety Requirements

Safety is very important to maintain a good learning and working environment. In particular,safety in laboratories is of paramount importance.

For attendance to laboratory sessions you are required to arrive in time and to wearappropriate shoes and garments (e.g. long trousers, closed shoes). In the event that youarrive late or are not wearing appropriate clothing/shoes you might be refused access to thelaboratory and be required to attend at another session.

During the laboratory session you will be provided a brief safety induction before you areallowed to commence any experiments. You are required at all times during the laboratorysession to comply with the safety regulations and wear your Personal Protective Equipment(PPE). Penalties apply if you do not comply with the safety regulations of the laboratory or donot wear the PPE. If you are caught not wearing your PPE at any point during the laboratorysession you will be:

1. issued a ticket (first offence),

2. ejected from the laboratory for the remainder of the session and will have to completethe laboratory at another day (second offence)

3. banned from accessing the laboratory pending a review with the Head of Departmentto discuss your breach of safety rules (third offence).
