(*acquired with the other subjects)

The achievement of a student's basic training is based on theoretical type classes (30 hours) but active participation of students will be encouraged, especially focused on knowledge of various basic operations of the chemical process industry and equipment operation.

Conducting seminars (4 hours) and group work/activities are required; allow the acquisition of general and specific competence.

Individual tutoring will be conducted to clarify particular problems of each student and mandatory tutoring (2 hours) to work with reduced groups specific topics.

Also, the labs program (15 hours) allows to transpose theoretical knowledge to practical application and development of scientific and technical documents.

Tools will be used to support teaching and problem solving (working with multimedia presentations and spreadsheets).

The Learning Management System (LMS) of the USC will also be used as support.

All teaching activities will be face-to-face, except for group work.

For cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the “Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións” will be applied.

Monitoring of learning by approaching case studies and activities to address, in person or not, individually or in groups. In addition, there will be at least one exam.

The final grade will consider both the exam results (50%) and activities in classroom (seminars, work/activities, and tutorials: 30%; laboratory practice: 20%).

In the seminars, activities/work and tutorials the following competencies will be evaluated:
Seminars: CB2, CG4, CT3, CE 20, CE22.
Activities/work and Tutorials: CB2, CB4, CG4, CG10, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, CE20, CE22.

In the labs a brief report of the practices will be presented: objective, methods, results, conclusions and bibliography. Both the laboratory and the report will be evaluated. The following competencies will be evaluated: CB2, CG4, CG10, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, CE20, CE22.

In the final exam will be assessed the specific skills CE20, CE22.

It is mandatory for the student to attend and obtain a minimum mark of 4 (over 10) in each of the evaluable parts (exam, seminars, work/activities, tutorials and laboratory practice).

In case of failure to pass the subject in the first call (minimum 5), the student will be evaluated in the second call of exam (theory and/or problems) maintaining continuous assessment scores. The labs will not be repeated for the second time.

Failure to attend mandatory classes (seminars, tutorials, activities / work, and final exam) will prevent passing the subject in the first opportunity of the semester as well as in the second one.

Only students who have not done any of the classroom activities may obtain the final grade of No Presented.

Assistance to the presential sessions is mandatory: seminars, tutorials, works/activities, laboratory practice and exam.

The students must take up the subject to understand and carry out further issues and problems that arise in class.

Overall it is estimated that students must use a total of 95 hours of personal work to complete a total of 150 hours devoted to the subject (30 hours for theoretical classes, 15 hours for laboratory practices, 32 hours for seminars, 2 hours for tutorials and 16 hours for the exam).

The students will perform on their own all practical exercises, both those already settled in the classroom as those proposed as personal work.

The student must have knowledge of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering I taught previously.

It is necessary to manage Excel spreadsheet or similar.

Classes will be taught in Spanish and/or Galician.

The admission of students in the laboratory of practices requires that they know and comply with the General Safety Standards in the laboratories of practices, of the University of Santiago de Compostela. This information is available on the website of the USC:
