Problem-based learning
This course will be taught via problem-based learning. Students will develop solutions for an
industrially-based, commercially-relevant process or product. Solutions will be presented in a
comprehensive written report, supported by an oral presentation of the findings. We plan to
use the 2017 AIChE Student Design Competition Problem.
CME 455. Product and process design I. syllabus. 7/29/2017.
The problem this year will be the AIChE Student Contest Problem (2017), which needs to be
solved in 30 days. At UK, the problem can be solved either individually or in teams of two.
The best two solutions from each category will be submitted to AIChE for judging. All students
need to conform to the contest rules, specifically, that there will be no discussion of the problem
with others during our contest period. The problem will start on February 6 and finish on March
8. After Spring Break, teams/individuals will present their work orally. Detailed rules are
provided below.
2017 AIChE Annual Student Design Competition Contest Rules
Each student will need to sign a statement verifying that they have conformed to the rules of the
contest.
Departments, including advisors, faculty, or any other instructor, cannot provide technical aid
specifically directed at the solution of the national student design competition.
The 2017 Student Design Compeition is designed to be solved either by an individual chemical
engineering student working entirely alone, or a group of no more than three studetns working
together. Solutions will be judged in two categories: individual and team. There are, however,
other academically sound approaches to using the problem, and it is expected that some advisors
will use the problem as classroom matieral. The following confidentiality rules therefore apply:
1. For individual students or teams whose solutions may be considered for the contest: The
problem may not be discussed with anyone (students, faculty, or others, in or out of class)
before or during the period allowed for solutions. Discussion with faculty and students at that
college or university is permitted only after complete final reports have been submitted to the
Chapter Advisor.
2
CME 455. Product and process design I. syllabus. 7/29/2017.
2. For students whose solutions are not intended for the contest: Discussion with faculty and
with other students at that college or university who are not participating in the contest is
permitted.
3. For all students: The problem may not be discussed with studetns or faculty from other
colleges and universities, or with individuals in the same institution who are still working on
the problem for the contest, until after June 9, 2017. This is particularly important in cases
where neighboring institutions may be using different schedules.
