Process Control
This unit will explore cleaner production and sustainability concepts, the principles of process design and
development and associated flow sheets, systematic approaches to waste minimisation in process and utility
systems, the methodology of life cycle assessment and application of life cycle assessment to processes and
products. These themes will be developed in lectures and supported by student project work related to selected
industrial processes.

Your Feedback to Us
Monash is committed to excellence in education and regularly seeks feedback from students,
employers and staff. One of the key formal ways students have to provide feedback is
through the Student Evaluation of Teaching and Units (SETU) survey. The Universitys
student evaluation policy requires that every unit is evaluated each year. Students are
strongly encouraged to complete the surveys. The feedback is anonymous and provides the
Faculty with evidence of aspects that students are satisfied and areas for improvement.
For more information on Monashs educational strategy, see:
www.monash.edu.au/about/monash-directions/directions.html and on student evaluations,
see: www.policy.monash.edu/policy-bank/academic/education/quality/student-evaluationpolicy.html

Teaching Approach
This unit consists of lectures and tutorial classes with 2 assignments, 1 mid-term test and a
laboratory report.
Many Process Control concepts will be taught during lectures throughout the semester.
Learning in this unit is mainly through lectures that will occasionally contain short group
discussions and quizzes. Tutorials will enable the application of theories, which were taught in
lectures to solve practical problems. The first assignments is an online quiz on practical
process control, second assignment will involve use of Vissim software and tutorials and
tutorials.
All students will complete 1 laboratory session on Process Control rig during the semester
according to respective groupings. In Week 8, students will be assessed in a mid-term test.
You can also find information on inclusive teaching practices for students with
learning disabilities or mental health conditions at:www.monash.edu.au/lls/inclusivity/

Extensions and penalties
The due dates for the submission of assignments are given in the previous section. Please
make every effort to submit work by the due dates. A standard 10% late per day penalty
applies. Students are advised to NOT assume that granting of an extension is a matter of
course.
If you need an extension for any of the assignments, the lab, or you are unable to sit the midsemester test, you must a submit written request no later than 2 days after the original
assignment or test date using the Request for Special Consideration In Class Assessment
form, available at: www.monash.edu/exams/assets/docs/in-semester.pdf and attach
supportive evidence such as medical certificate (see link for accepted evidence). This form
should be submitted to the Chemical Engineering Office in B36.
The unit coordinator will review your application and you will be notified via email of the
outcome of you application and the arrangements, including whether any penalty in marks will
apply. Note that other lecturers or tutors cannot grant special consideration for assignments
or tests.
If you are late in applying for an extension or you dont have a good reason, you should still
submit the work, but 10% of the total marks available for that assessment component will
usually be deducted for each day late.
No assignment will be accepted once an assignment has been returned to the
class. Resubmission of assignments is not permitted.
Remember, you are required to keep an up-to-date copy of all submitted assignments to
safeguard against the loss of work through accident or error.
