Project work is nowconsidered to be an important part of an engineer’s training4-6. Students enrolled in their finalyear of mechanical engineering at Swinburne University of Technology are required toundertake and complete a final year project (major capstone project).

. Planned and managed changes 3. Unplanned revolutionary changesProbably the most famous step model of change is Rogers’ (2003) Diffusion of Innovation thatdescribes diffusion as the process by which (a) an innovation (b) is communicated throughcertain channels (c) over time (d) among the members of a social system. Rogers conceptualizesfive steps in this process: 1) knowledge, 2) persuasion, 3) decision, 4) implementation, and 5)confirmation. Rogers is famous for the S-curve relationship between time and the number ofadopters. Rogers writes that “The dominant viewpoint is that social change is caused by bothinvention (the process by which a new idea is discovered or created) and diffusion, which usuallyoccur sequentially.”Clearly, defining or

The journal prompts were: (a) Describe how this VITDP project has made you: 1) consider the definition of safety, 2) think about safety analysis, and 3) consider how safety aspects can be applied in ChemE design. (b) How did safety considerations influence or cause your team to consider changes or additions to the process design? (c) Which

Inengineering economic analysis, project benefits are favorable consequences of the projects andproject costs are monetary disbursements required of the sponsor. The term disbenefits is alsoused to represent the negative consequences of a project to the public. In relation to publicprojects, these terms can be easily estimated within reasonable accuracy. A public project isacceptable if the benefit-cost ratio (B-C ratio) is greater or equal to 1.0.

Starting in the year 2000, ABET undertook amajor shift in policy by focusing on program outcomes rather than program inputs. Instead oflisting curriculum components, outcomes, currently eleven2, are now required: “(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs (d) an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams (e) an ability to
