Basic and General:
CB2 - That the students can apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and have competences typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments and solving problems within their field of study.
CB4 - That students can communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non- specialized audience.
CG4 - Ability to solve problems with initiative, decision making, creativity, critical thinking and to communicate and transmit knowledge, skills and abilities in the field of Industrial Engineering in the specialty of Industrial Chemistry.
CG10 - Ability to work in a multilingual and multidisciplinary environment.
Transversal:
CT1 - Capacity for analysis and synthesis.
CT2 - Ability to use computer applications in the field of Industrial Engineering.
CT3 - Ability to manage information.
CT4 - Capacity for teamwork.
Specific:
CE7* - Knowledge of applied thermodynamics and heat transfer. Basic principles and their application to solve engineering problems.
(*acquired with the other subjects)
The achievement of the basic training of the student will be through 41 hours of expository teaching, in which the theoretical foundations of the subject will be explained and exercises and problems that serve to apply theoretical knowledge will be solved.
Students will have at their disposal in the USC Learning Management System, from the beginning of classes, all the materials used for teaching, except those that are part of the evaluation system.
In the Seminars (8 hours), the student will solve specific topics and problems of the subject in the classroom. Thus, very diverse aspects can be addressed, such as auxiliary calculation techniques, debates on topics of interest related to the contents of the subject and handling of bibliographic sources.
It will be mandatory to carry out a Group Work, consisting of the design of a heat exchanger.
There will be individual tutorials to clarify individual doubts of each student and tutorials in small groups (2 hours).
Computer tools will be used to support teaching and to solve problems. In addition, the USC Learning Management System will be used as a support tool.
For cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the “Regulations for the evaluation of students' academic performance and the review of qualifications” will be applied.
Only students who do not participate in any of the evaluation activities will be able to receive the final grade of Not Presented.
A) -FIRST CHANCE:
The evaluation will be carried out through Continuous Evaluation (40%) plus a Final Exam (60%).
* A1) -Continuous evaluation, the minimum qualification required will be 1.6 points and will consist of two sections:
1º) -Group work: compulsory and asynchronous, up to 2.0 points can be obtained. Evaluated competences: CB2, CB4, CG4, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4 and CE7.
2nd) -Classroom activities (seminars): synchronous, you can get up to 2.0 points. Evaluated competences: CB2, CB4, CG4, CT1, CT3 and CE7
Students who do not achieve the required minimum grade will receive a final grade of Failure and will be evaluated at Second Chance as detailed in section (B2).
Repeating students who voluntarily renounce continuous assessment if they have already passed it in one of the two previous courses, may choose to be assessed in the Second Chance as detailed in section (B2).
* A2) -Final Exam, mandatory and synchronous. Evaluated competences: CB2, CB4, CG4, CT3 and CE7. It will be done in two parts with the following characteristics:
1st) -Theoretical Part: up to 1.5 points; Minimum qualification required 0.6 points.
2nd) -Practical Part: up to 4.5 points; Minimum qualification required 1.8 points.
It is mandatory to achieve the minimum grade required in each of the parts to pass the subject, and also achieve an overall grade of at least 5.0 points.
B) - SECOND CHANCE:
* B1) -Students who obtained the minimum grade required in Continuous Assessment will retain that grade, and will take a Final Exam with the same characteristics as in the first assessment opportunity (A2).
* B2) -Students who did not achieve the minimum grade required in the Continuous Assessment will lose that grade, and must take a Synchronous Final Exam, which will be carried out in two parts with the following characteristics:
1st) -Theoretical Part: up to 2.0 points; Minimum grade required 0.8 points.
2nd) -Practical Part: up to 8.0 points; Minimum required grade 4.2 points.
Evaluated competences: CB2, CB4, CG4, CT3 and CE7. It is mandatory to achieve the minimum qualification required in each of the parts to pass the subject.
The students must take up the subject to understand and carry out further issues and problems that arise in the classroom, as well as group work.
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 (45 hours for theoretical classes, 32 hours for seminars, 2 hours for tutorials and 16 hours for the exam).
The student must have knowledge of Engineering Chemical I and II.
The students will perform on their own all practical exercises, both those already settled in the classroom as those proposed as personal work.
It is necessary to manage Excel spreadsheet or similar.
Classes will be taught in Spanish and/or Galician.
