MABY5360 Design and Optimisation Projects Emneplan

No formal requirements over and above the admission requirements.

On successful completion of this course the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge:

The student will have

• advanced comprehension of sustainability and environmental risk in relation to water system design;
• advanced comprehension of project management in team and individual based settings;
• advanced knowledge of applying combined hydraulic and process engineering methods.

Skills:

The student

• has creative and critical skills, and is able to select amongst alternatives and make decisions in areas impacted with uncertainty;
• can communicate effectively results of their work in the form of written reports and oral presentations with strict page and time limits, respectively;
• has hands-on experience in creating model implementations of complex bioprocesses;
• can implement and apply computational tools for scenario analysis to evaluate cost-benefits and to infer effective design and operational solutions;
• can apply software for integrated control of environmental pollution;
• can analyse water systems in terms of capital investment and operating costs.

General competence: 

The student

• has deep insight into preliminary and rigorous process and unit design;
• Is able to draw engineering drawings, process flowsheets, control and P&I diagrams of the water system;
• Is able to solve complex water system problems by combining statistics, process and hydrology modelling tools.

Studentene skal gjennomføre en fire ukers praksisperiode (altså praksistid tilsvarende 20 normale arbeidsdager). Studentene finner relevante praksissteder i samråd med emneansvarlig som også må godkjenne valg av praksissted. Praksisperioden er obligatorisk. 80 prosent av praksisstiden må være gjennomført for at studentene skal kunne gå opp til eksamen.

Ved fravær over 20% grunnet sykdom eller andre tungtveiende årsaker kan det gjøres en individuell vurdering.

The exam consist of two parts, one group and one individual:

1. A written group report (max. 2 members) on the overall process design and operation, (max. 3000 words); counting 50% of the grade.
2. A individual report (max. 2000 words) on the rigorous design of a selected unit operation process; counting 50% of the grade.

In the event of failed or valid absence of exam, the postponed exam will be given as either an oral or written examination.

Part one and part two can be appealed.

All aids permitted.

A grade scale with grades from A to E for pass (with A being the highest grade and E being the lowest pass grade) and F for fail is used in connection with the final assessment.
