OBJECTIVES
Students enrolled in this course will participate in the
develop-ment of a process package, as an "employee" in an imaginary company,
assigned to a section group. The course will simulate the main tasks of such an
engineer, who will be given the opportunity to demonstrate management and
leadership skills.
The end result of the course will be a complete process
package, developed by team work between the student-engineers of each of three companies:
Blue Technologies,
Red
Associates and Green Engineering, who are competing for the ICI tender to develop a complete process package
for the HDA process. Each company will be assigned one of the more successful
process designs prepared by course 054402. The organization of each of the three companies is the same
- four engineering teams, each responsible for the design of the four
process sectors: Reactor section; Stabilizer section; Product column section;
Biphenyl column section.
Since these four sections are heat
integrated, there is overlap between the sections. Each company will
have to decide how the work to be done will be divided between the four
groups. Each participant in the course has been assigned to one of one of the companies,
with the internal organization and work-load distribution being the
responsibilities of the students themselves.
