Faculty of Science and Engineering Department of Chemical Engineering Learning Activities

Time allocation: 5 hours per week EACH STUDENT IS REQUIRED TO PUT IN AT LEAST 5 OR MORE HOURS PER WEEK FOR SELF STUDY. This should be separate from tutorials, classes, discussions, meetings, or consultation times. Teaching mode: 4 hrs per week lectures; 1 hr per week tutorial Teaching and learning mode for Transport Phenomena 323 will have the following components: A. traditional lectures and tutorials B. in-class discussion C. in-class problem solving Regular attendance at lectures is strongly encouraged, as students will be held responsible for all material presented in class (in addition to the text readings, any handouts, etc.). Prior readings are required for all lectures where weekly topics are indicated on the unit study calendar. Self-readings on particular topics should be completed prior to the class session for which they are assigned. While engineering problem solving often benefits from the interchange which accompanies a group effort, the maximum learning benefit for the student typically results from a careful balance between serious individual effort and occasional group consultation. As such, students are permitted to work in small groups to discuss methods and approaches to solving the class/homework problems. However, students should focus on developing the skills necessary to define and solve problems independently, as these skills will be required on the exams administered.

Detailed information on assessment tasks 1. Tests and final examination for this unit will be closed book. A final exam will be held at the end of the semester and will encompass study material, tutorial questions and in-class problem discussions. For the final examination, students are encouraged to bring ONE (1) A-4 sheet (single-sided text), either hand-written or typed, of useful formula, constants and relationships as necessary. ONLY HP10S Calculator to be used during all examinations. Detailed assessment criteria will be announced later. 2. One project assignment with 3 - 4 problems on transport phenomena will be assigned to groups of 4 students. Assignments will be posted on the class web site on week 6. The project will be discussed in the class and feedback will be provided for continuous improvement. In submitting the project, make sure it is typed, all pages numbered, and the assignment of assumptions and parameters, (iii) a clear explanation of the steps/calculations involved in reaching the solution. Also, be sure to indicate appropriate units, as necessary. Assignment/Project report submission The tasks required for the project should be divided between all members of the team. Each team member is required to write up their section (or questions) and all sections combined into the final, composite report. This report should include an executive summary, conclusions, and recommendations.

Supplementary and deferred assessments Students granted a Supplementary or Deferred assessment will be notified via OCC. Please also note that the failure to attend the examination/assessment on the day and time set will result in a fail for the unit. Under no circumstances will alternative arrangements be made to suit individuals.

Fair assessment through moderation Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy Late submission of assignments will be penalised by 10% of the marked score per calendar day for a late assessment submission. An assessment more than seven working days overdue will not be marked. Work submitted after this time (due date plus seven days) may result in a Fail Incomplete (F-IN) grade being awarded for the unit.

Assessment extension A student must apply for an assessment extension on the form prescribed by the Academic Registrar which can be found at: http://students.curtin.edu.au/administration/documents/Application_forAssessmentExtension. pdf The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners meeting.

Pass requirements To pass this unit you must achieve a grade/mark greater than or equal to 5/50.

Plagiarism Academic honesty is crucial to a students credibility and self-esteem, and ultimately reflects on the values and morals of the University as a whole. A student may work together with one or a group of students discussing assignment content, identifying relevant references, and debating issues relevant to the subject. Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing.
