Introduction to Process Engineering is an introductory course in process engineering, which comprises of the principles and the practical aspects of organic, inorganic and biochemical processes. It emphasizes the structure and properties of organic, inorganic, and bio-chemicals; process flow sheeting, process variable identification and production processes. The course uses extensive examples from industrial processes. In laboratory sessions students will use HYSYS software to study process characteristics.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Some of the major industries employing process engineers will be examined through process flow diagrams, plant tours and in-depth discussions in the course. You’ll learn all about the different equipment (and equipment categories) used in Process Engineering, how to design a process/operation by creating process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and convert lots of different units describing the same volume, mass, concentration, pressure, temperature, etc. You will learn how to keep track of the material used all through a process on a mass and mole basis – accounting for process engineers. Throughout the course these foundation principles will be applied to green, sustainable and safe engineering practices. SCHEDULE:

CLASSROOM POLICIES:

• Students are strongly encouraged to attend every lecture. It is expected that students will use classroom time to listen and absorb the ideas and material presented by the instructor, participate in problem solving and in-class discussions. • Course related announcement/materials will be made available/distributed through D2L OR during lecture time; it is the responsibility of the students to keep themselves updated about all announcements/materials covered in the class.

• Use of electronic devices is strictly for course related purposes and should only be used without causing any distraction to the students or the instructor. • A student joining a lecture after it begins or leaving a lecture before it ends should attract the attention of the instructor first and seek approval. • No activity that might cause a distraction to other students or the instructor will be allowed during lectures. If such a distraction occurs, the offender may be asked to leave the classroom. LAB SAFETY:

Students are expected to demonstrate awareness of, and personal accountability for, safe laboratory conduct. Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn (e.g. steel- toed shoes, safety glasses, etc.) and safe work practices must be followed as indicated for individual laboratories, materials and equipment. Students will immediately report any concerns regarding safety to the teaching assistant, staff technologist, and professor. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT:

Students are expected to conduct themselves in all aspects of the course at the highest level of academic integrity. Any student found to commit academic misconduct will be dealt with according to the Faculty and University practices. More information is available at http://www.mun.ca/engineering/undergrad/academicintegrity.php Students are encouraged to consult the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Student Code of Conduct at http://www.mun.ca/engineering/undergrad/academicintegrity.php and Memorial University’s Code of Student Conduct at http://www.mun.ca/student/conduct/. INCLUSION AND EQUITY:

Students who require accommodations are encouraged to contact the Glenn Roy Blundon Centre, http://www.mun.ca/blundon/about/index.php. The mission of the Blundon Centre is to provide and co-ordinate programs and services that enable students with disabilities to maximize their educational potential and to increase awareness of inclusive values among all members of the university community. The university experience is enriched by the diversity of viewpoints, values, and backgrounds that each class participant possesses. In order for this course to encourage as much insightful and comprehensive discussion among class participants as possible, there is an expectation that dialogue will be collegial and respectful across disciplinary, cultural, and personal boundaries. STUDENT ASSISTANCE:

Student Affairs and Services offers help and support in a variety of areas, both academic and personal. More information can be found at www.mun.ca/student....
