PTEC 272 Process Technology Project II

5 CR

This may be a continuation of PTEC 270 or a separate assignment. For the degree student, this is a culminating project for an individual or group. The instructor may assign a topic for the project or work with a local industry to define a project topic from a real-life situation. The student or group of students will define the problem, resources needed, postulate the hypothesis/solution, research the problem and possible solutions, visit the plant, interview /consult with instructor/engineers/technicians and other resources, and develop a solution. The student or group will then write a technical report outlining the complete process from defining the problem, methodology applied and conclusion. This may also require building a piece of equipment, writing a software program, or writing safety or operational procedures.
Prerequisite(s): PTEC 101.
