engineering students |
 |
| Location |
Auckland, New Zealand |
| Program |
Develop & deliver innovative resources and
teaching approach |
| Duration |
1983 - 1985 |
| Scope |
Teach junior year & senior year
undergraduates (class size 48) |
| Role |
Senior Lecturer in 3rd-year "Process Analysis and
Synthesis"
and final year "Process Design" course and "Design Project" |
| Tasks |
Process Analysis and Synthesis
- Developed & delivered materials from
10-years experience
- Developed a categorized list of 1,000
published references in process design and taught students how to
access them
- Developed software in FORTRAN and BASIC for
execution on six dedicated workstations in a purpose-created room
Process Design Project
- Rather than all students doing the same
project, each team was given their own industry sector process
plant.
- Examples of plants chosen were relevant to
NZ's resources: e.g. aluminum from alumina. phosphate fertilizer,
dairy milk processing, oil and gas processing, steel by electric
furnace
- Over the academic year, the teams each had
to produce Process Flow Diagrams, Heat and Material Balance, size
major equipment, propose control schema, do screening-level Hazard
Analysis, present their project to Faculty
- Had each team of four choose their own lead
to coordinate the division of tasks. I met weekly with just the 12
leads, in order to make them accountable for gathering questions,
but accompanying lectures and tests were for whole team.
