1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. General description
At the end of the second year of the Process and Food Technology (PFT) programme, all students will have to
take a final assessment, which is worth 3 study credits. The final assessment serves as a tool for students to
prove that they have indeed acquired several competencies at a sufficient level. The final assessment is an
individual assessment. Each student has to submit his/her individual work.

1.2. Competences
The PFT programme is a competence-based learning program. It is directed towards achieving the required
competence level of each of the competences defined by the Netherlands Association of Universities of
Applied Sciences (Domain of Applied Science). By the end of the programme, the PFT Bachelor of Science
graduate should have acquired 10 Bachelor of Science competences.

In the second-year final assessment, the competences as shown in Table 1 will be assessed.

Table 1. PFT Competences assessed at an appropriate level at the end of 2nd year.

2. ASSIGNMENT

2.1. General outline: From waste to product
The assignment is to design a plant that converts a waste stream from a different/unrelated process into a
valuable product. Think of the projects in block 2.2 (from spent grain to bread) and block 2.3 (from glycerine
water to biogas). There are many different possible processes that may be used for different purposes. For
this assignment, based on your prior knowledge and interests, formulate your own research topic.

In the design of your process and plant, the following requirements must be included:
State the objective(s) of your process
State the relevant legislation(s)
Raw materials used
Main products produced
Annual output of your plant
Process description, making use of a process flow diagram
Impacts on environment, sustainability issues, circular economy, etc.


2.2. Instruction
The final assessment consists of three components:
Written report
Oral presentation
Defence

2.2.1. Go-or-No-Go moment
Students have to discuss their research topic and work plan (Gantt chart) with at least one of their respective
assessors (see Appendix 1) in week 3 (latest). This is to ensure that the proposed research topic is not out of
scope and can be realistically completed in time. After obtaining the approval of the assessors, students may
proceed further.

2.2.2. Written report
Students have to deliver a written report that is clear and concise, with maximum 15 pages of content. An
example of an acceptable report format is given in Appendix 2.

Include in the last chapter of the report, a reflection on your choice of topic. For example:
Why did you select this particular topic or field?
Did your perceptions of this topic or field change after completing this assignment?
What was most difficult about this assignment? Or at which point of this assignment did you face
problems? How did you solve it?

2.2.3. Oral presentation
In addition, students have to present their assignment individually in front of 2 assessors, according to the
schedule shown in Appendix 1. The oral presentation has a time limit of 10 minutes.

2.2.4. Defence
After the 10-minute oral presentation, students will have to answer questions from both assessors for about
10 minutes. Students are expected to be knowledgeable about the process. Subsequently, students will be
given a final grade and feedback of his/her performance. The entire presentation/defense session will last no
more than 30 minutes.

3. ASSESSMENT

3.1. Assessment methods
The written report, oral presentation and defence will all be assessed to obtain a final grade.

Final Grade:
(50% from reporting (items 1-8), 25% from presentation and 25% from defense.)


The final grade consists of 50% from reporting (items 1-8 in Table 2), 25% from presentation and 25% from
defence. In order to pass, all 10 items must be evaluated to be at a sufficient level.

The 2 assessors will grade the final product independently. If the 2 grades deviate by more than 1 point, both
assessors will come to an agreed grade with justification. Otherwise, the final grade will be a simple average.

Plagiarism is strictly prohibited. Reports will be uploaded on Ephorus and automatically checked for
plagiarism. Students, who are caught copying text from fellow classmates or the internet, will be reported to
the Examination Board.

3.3. Re-sit Opportunity
Students, who fail the final assessment, will be given a second opportunity one week later. Depending on
the feedback from the 2 assessors, students may be required to re-write the report and/or present/defend
again.
Students, who fail the re-sit or do not meet the deadline for the re-sit, will have to re-sit the final
assessment the following academic year.
