2022 CPT150X Industrial Visitor Assignment
This assignment relates to the industrial visitor, Mr Asisispho Mongameli, from the Bellville
Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW). Mr Mongameli is a Process Controller at Bellville
WWTW with an Advanced Diploma in Chemical Engineering.

Following the presentation by and discussion with Mr Mongameil submit a report (i.e. Cover
page, Table of Contents, Assignment points (listed below), References) in the following
format: Arial, font size 11, 1.5 line spacing and justified. The report mark contributes in part,
along with the online quizzes, to the 10% [T3] weighting of the final subject mark.

The graduate attribute (GA) being developed though this assignment underpinned by the
presentation by and discussion with Mr Mongameli a Process Controller at Bellville
Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW) is Graduate Attribute 12: Workplace practices.
The report needs to demonstrate an understanding of workplace practices to solve
engineering problems consistent with academic learning achieved.

The marking rubric and Graduate Attribute evaluation rubric is included in Table 1 below.
Include Table 1 as the last page of the final report submission.
