Three Groups Win Plant Design Awards

Three groups were recognized for their outstanding work in Chemical Engineering’s capstone design course known as plant design. The course requires students to draw upon all aspects of their education, including engineer fundamentals, economic analysis and communication skills, to tackle a real-world design challenge in the span of 13-weeks. Conducted during the first term of fourth year, students often describe the process as a “trial by fire” that forges better engineers as a result.

The awards recognized the best overall project, as well as one focused on environmental engineering and the other in sustainable energy. The winners were selected on the basis of their final mark in the course.

The winners were:
