Engineering Economics and Problem Solving: CHE 4N4

Class materials

Announcements (previous ones)

Since you are doing all the work this week preparing for the SDL presentation, I've got time to finish grading the midterms: only two more questions to grade.

The final memo regarding the SDL project has been posted. One important point was omitted:

For the HAZOP study: please investigate only one unit, 2 nodes, 3 parameters per node, and 3 guide words.

More information added:: For the SDL project presentations: a good rule of thumb for presenters is that you talk about a slide for about 1.5 to 3 minutes. That implies you need 5 to 7 slides for the 10 minutes of talking, and 1 or 2 extra for the class activity: so a total of about 8 slides. There are very few exceptions to this guideline, so please don't generate a lot of slide material: this is one case where "less is more". Another point is on font size. If you cannot read your slide when standing 2 meters away from your computer monitor, then the letters are too small.
- Slides for the group presentations are being posted. Please check back for updates.
- A note to future groups: please have your slides emailed to me by 20:00 the day before.

Note regarding the last class: the last class for 4N4 is on Monday, 03 December, at 10:00 in JHE 342 (tutorial time slot). There was no other way to schedule this given the large number of groups presenting. Group A1 will present the last SDL report, then I will talk about the final exam. The class will be video recorded for those that cannot make it to the tutorial time. I will also answer any questions by email for those that can't make it.

One final hand-in is due for this course, other than your project: it is a course reflection. Due any time between now and 03 December. Please fill in this electronic form for your reflection. This form covers 3 areas:
- it is a course reflection
- it is a peer evaluation
- final evaluation on 4N4 overall.

You might want to wait until just before the final project hand-in so you can evaluate your peers.
