Competition Rules Project Rules Departments, including advisors, faculty, or any other instructor, cannot provide technical aid specifically directed at the solution of the national student design competition. The problem may not be discussed with anyone (students, faculty, or others, in or out of class) before or during the period allowed for solutions.

Appendix (this can be a separate pdf or word document) Report Format The body of the report must be suitable for reproduction, that is, computer-generated and in a printable format. Tables, supporting calculations and other appendix material may be handwritten. This report should follow the outline suggested in Seider, Seader and Lewin [Sieder, Ch 23]. Further details on what should be included in the design report can be found in that text. Write the document from the point of view of the organization’s engineer making a report and recommendation to their own organization management. The solution itself must bear no reference to the students’ names and institution by which it might be identified. Please expunge all such references to the degree possible. Final submission of solutions to AIChE must be in electronic format (PDF and MS-Word). The main text must be 125 pages or less, and an additional 100 page or less is allowed for supplementary material only. The final submission to AIChE must consist of no more than 2 electronic files.
