(4) The term “Team” is used hereand not “Group” because in teamwork, activities span for a long time (weeks, whole semester)while activities span short time frame for group work. Also, teams are formed carefully whilegroups are formed spontaneously. (5)Students work in teams of three or four and are carefully formed by the instructor. Academicresearch indicates that instructor formed teams perform better than totally self-selected teams.

In early years, as exemplified in the textbook, Chemical EngineeringPlant Design", by Vilbrandt1, emphasis was placed not on process design, i.e. design of theprocess structure and the equipment, but on plant design, including consideration of foundations,drainage, piping installation, buildings, power transmission, plant location, plant layout, andpreconstruction cost estimates. Some attention was given to selection and arrangement ofequipment.

Page 13.1210.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2008Abstract:Biogas is produced when organic matter is degraded in the absence of oxygen. Theprocess, from degradation to gas production is called anaerobic digestion. This anaerobicdigestion occurs naturally in wetland, Lake Bottom and deep landfills. An experimentaldigestor was built that converts cow manure and agricultural waste into methane-richbiogas that can be used as alternate energy resources to generate electricity or thermalenergy. The research in this study focuses on the feasibility of the design of anoperational digestor, the monitoring and control of the different biodegradation processvariables and experiments to boost or maximize the gas production; and the analysis
