Coursework Type - Field Visit Report and Poster Presentation
Aim
The aim of this module is to provide the students with knowledge and practical insight of the important concepts and fundamental principles, treatment mechanism, and design and operation and technology of various wastewater treatment processes.
Learning Outcomes
- To demonstrate the principles of wastewater treatment.
- To outline the remediation technologies.
- To describe the essentials of wastewater treatment system design and operation
- To apply their theoretical knowledge and to conduct analysis on a broad variety of wastewater management problems.
- To compare advances in the treatment technologies and design processes.
Task
The course work consists of two components:
1) Field Visit Report
Site visit will be arranged to a municipal wastewater treatment plant to observe the treatment process and plant operation followed by an assessment based on the field visit report submission.
Requirement for the Report:
Write detailed report on the field visit for wastewater treatment plant. i.e., components and observations at the site. The contents and the requirements are shown in following table.

References
|
CCE Harvard Style should be followed for both in-text and listing references.
|
Also some of the technical data on the treatment site and the information collected from the site should be included for any future reference
2) Electronic Poster and presentation
Each student should individually prepare electronic poster of the report for the site visit and present it. The presentation will be for 10 min duration comprising presentation and question and answer session.
Poster requirement
The e - poster must show clearly the area of the site visit work. All this must be done in a concise fashion. Annotated drawings and graphs have more impact than script.
The poster should be complete in that it is understandable to the viewer without verbal comment. Viewers should be able to read the poster smallest text.
Production of a poster will test the student's ability to extract the important and essential elements from the study/site visit to the wastewater treatment facility and to display these elements in an attractive and informative manner. Judgment of the essentials of a piece of work and the presentation of those essentials in a convincing and time-efficient way is important not only in technical conferences but also in industry.
Instructions
1. The e- poster must be prepared to fit onto (A4 or A3 size) which is normally to be displayed with the longer edge vertical. Poster is to be made and submitted in electronic form only.
2. The title sheet should contain the title of the study, name of Student, year of Study and date (year only).
3. The e - poster shall include the following sections:
a. Introduction
b. Design aspect of the wastewater treatment plant
c. Operational aspect of the wastewater treatment plant
d. Environmental significant
e. Conclusion
4. Display lettering can be prepared using a variety of methods including 'press letters' (e.g. Letterset), stencils and photographic enlargement of ordinary type. Students should consider using computer-aided techniques (e.g. graph plotters, presentation graphics software).
5. Students are encouraged to discuss their ideas with the tutor before commencing preparation of the poster.
