You will be graded on your ability to consider and synthesize qualitative and quantitative aspect of your design. PART I General description of current related processes. PART II Detailed description of the specific process your paper will deal with. This section should be mostly qualitative, but some simple calculations might be included. PART III Quantitative technical analysis of the process you have chosen, or of some specific portion of that process.
