More recent announcements at the top
- A reading on the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI)
- The informal course evaluation results.
- An update regarding electronic submissions: a single Word document or PDF or Google Doc (preferred) will be accepted. Please read for more details.
- Inflation adjustment factors for the process industries
- 2 slides on the bare module method
- A list of costs that should be considered
- You will also require portions of Don Woods' book Cost Estimation for the Process Industries. This can only be downloaded from McMaster computers [30 Mb]. Please keep a copy for tutorials and use in class exercises. You do not need to print the entire book, only the parts from chapter 1. The other chapters are for reference.
- We'd like to be clear: a spreadsheet by itself is NOT a valid assignment submission and will essentially receive a grade of zero: it's as if handing in a report to your manager with only appendices but no content. Furthermore, we are seeing groups that do not follow the requirements posted a week ago: non-native Google Docs do not show up correctly and cannot be commented on by the TAs or myself.
- Assignment 4 is posted for Monday's tutorial.
- A short note regarding cover letters has been posted.
- For assignment 3, question 5: please use an MARR of 15%. The assignments are due at the start of your tutorial time slot; if handing in electronically, please make sure we get them by 17:00.
- A memo has been posted, dated 24 September 2012. We will discuss this in class on 25 September.
