Outcomes
Application of ChE
Principles, Knowledge

knowledge application

Hysys, Excel, where
appropriate)
Process Flow Diagram
(PFD), Stream Data
(SD) and specification
sheets (SS) are correct
complete and easy to
follow
Unsatisfactory
Designed the process and
units with weak or no
justification; missed many
key units; detailed design
contains many major errors in
calculations. Very little
discussion of results.
Did not use the tools
correctly, which resulted in
major mistakes. Some files
were not submitted.
Practicality of design
(e.g., assumptions and
operating limit)
Alternatives, decision
making and creative
solutions
Showed no awareness of
major practical issues.
PFD is incomplete and

unclear; SD table and SS are
significantly incomplete with
incorrect values. They are
difficult to follow.
Very little/no discussion on

alternatives; no creativity was

Satisfactory

units with questionable
justifications; missed some key
units; detailed design involves a
few major errors in calculations.
Attempted to interpret and
discuss results.
Showed some capability in
correctly using the tools; key
results are reasonable. There
can be several errors. All the
files were submitted.
PFD has many major units and
is reasonable; SD table and SS
missed a few important data,
and most values are correct.
They are not easy to follow.
PFD and SD table are far away
from each other in the report.
Some major practical issues
were discussed, but were not
solved satisfactorily.
Listed alternatives where
applicable; made choices with
inadequate justification;
discussed at least one creative
solution that may not work well.
Good
Reasonable design with
justification for the process
and most key units, and was
based on calculations with
minor errors. Interpreted
results and discussed
reasonably.
Correctly and completely
used the tools, and most
results are reasonable. There
can be minor errors. All the
files were submitted.
PFD has most major units
presented clearly and
logically; SD table and SS
include all important data;
values are correct; there can
be minor errors. They are
easy to follow.
Major practical issues were
discussed, and most were
solved satisfactorily.
Listed alternatives where
applicable; justified the
choice reasonably; discussed
at least one acceptable and
creative solution.
Exceptional
Realistic design with strong
justification for the process and all
key units, and was based on
correct knowledge application.
Interpreted results correctly and
discussed their relevance.
Correctly and completely used the
tools, and all results are realistic.
The uploaded files were well
presented and easy to follow.
PFD has all units presented very
clearly and logically; SD table and
SS include all important data
correctly. They are concise and
easy to follow.
All major practical issues were

fully discussed and solved
properly.
Listed relevant alternatives where
applicable; Justified the choice
with strong reasons; Proposed and
evaluated at least one creative and
successful solution.
Report: Presentation
Desired Features
Clarity,
conciseness and
organization

errors; missed many major
features; organized
illogically; report is difficult
to follow.

features; Reasonably
organized information, but
some parts are difficult to
follow.
Good
Accurate information; not
very concise or missed a few
key features; Well organized
information, with a few parts
hard to follow but not very
distracting.
Exceptional
Accurate information with concise
presentation; captures all the main
features; Logically organized
information, easy to follow.
Language,
nomenclature
Numerous spelling and

grammatical mistakes, etc.
that are very distracting;
seldom defined symbols and
so they are hard to
understand.
Inconsistent format and
improper choice of font or
