However, the operability of complete processes is usually outside thescope of these courses.An observation from teaching process design over a period of approximately 25 years is thatstudents have become increasing adept at using computer software and performing increasinglycomplex simulations using simulator software. Parametric optimization and extensive heatintegration are examples of improvements that can be and that are now easily simulated butwould have been nearly impossible or prohibitively time consuming only 25 years ago. Thisimprovement in software acuity seems to come at the price of
Group LogisticsAs described elsewhere6, students arrive at PLTL groups to find that the mentor hasorganized the seating in the room to be in a U-shape with all chairs and desks facing thewhite board. The mentor takes a seat as if s/he is a part of the group. The mentorfacilitates collaborative group work by opening communication and asking aboutproblem areas from the lecture or homework. Once a problem is stated, the mentor willopen up the discussion of the solution to the whole group. Students begin to work on theproblem which is often chosen from their assigned homework problems. In thebeginning, students may need assistance finding procedures to solve problems in thetextbook, at which point mentors will use some tutoring skills. As the

Institute ofTechnology (MIT), announced what many in the U.S. had suspected: the U.S. economy was in arecession. The U.S.’s largest bank, Bank of America, promptly announced a whopping loss ofsome 35,000 jobs over the next three years after its takeover of Merrill Lynch (Business CycleDating, nber.org/cycles/dec2008.html). The New Year certainly did not bring any renewed economic optimism. In the U.S., theunemployment rate increased to 7.2%, with more unemployed workers in 2007 than in any otheryear since the end of World War II (Business Cycle Dating, nber.org/cycles/dec2008.html). Infact, the International Monetary Fund reported that the economic growth was set to fall to a mere0.5% in 2008, which represented its lowest rate ever, and the

to solve real problems. For example, when the villagers brought up the problem of a broken solar pump, everyone was required to brainstorm and troubleshoot since no one had prior experience on it (Figure 7). With some help from the professors, the faulty inverter was identified, and a replacement recommendation was proposed to the villagers. References 1.

make manufacturing flow smoothly. 4. DFV determines tolerance using tolerance analysis. Designers have a tendency to arbitrarily assign tolerances to critical components in products. Using scatter plots (Bhote, 2000) tolerances can be decided on critical components that are close enough to achieve the functional requirement and at the same time are not Page 23.664.6 too restrictive to unnecessarily increase the manufacturing cost. An example of 6 how this can be done using Shainin’ s Red X and Green Y ideas (Bhote, 2000) is shown in Figure 3

over the chip. The camera plugs into the USB portof a PC and produces videos (30 frames/s) of fluid flow. The magnification ranges from 10X to500X. Other camera types and set-ups are of course workable as well, including higher-endconsumer CCD cameras. The quantification of flow rate can be made adding a graduated scale inthe image, such as with a thin plastic ruler placed along the flow channel which shows theposition of the flow front in each frame along with the time for that frame. From this analysis,the flow velocity can be accurately determined as a function of time. A common analysisobjective is to determine the pressure drop ∆𝑃 between two points as a function of flow rate Q orfluid velocity v. ∆𝑃 = 𝑓
