The Design Internship in Pollution Prevention at The University of Tennessee is an honors capstonedesign course in which source reduction is incorporated into the design of industrial processes.In this activity pollution prevention through basic flowsheet development and equipment selection isemphasized rather than conventional treatment of the effluent waste streams. This activity wasbegun in 1990 and has involved 128 students and 32 projects. The number of projects per year hasvaried from 1 to 8. The output of each of these activities is a design report. An important benefit ofthese activities is an intensive process design experience for the students that emphasize pollutionprevention concepts. The paper summarizes accomplishments and lessons learned.
