*Basic and general:
-CB1: Demonstrability by the students of knowledge and understanding of concepts in a field of study that is based on general secondary education, and is typically at a level where, albeit supported by advanced textbooks, it also includes aspects that involve knowledge coming from the cutting-edge front of its field of study.
-CB2: Ability of the students to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way, having the competences that are customarily demonstrated by means of the elaboration and defence of arguments and the solving of problems within their field of study.
-CG4: Ability to solve problems with initiative, decision making, creativity, critical reasoning and to communicate and transmit knowledge, skills and abilities in the field of Industrial Engineering in their specialty of Industrial Chemistry.
-CG10: Ability to work in a multilingual and multidisciplinary environment.
*Transferable:
-CT1: Capacity of analysis and synthesis.
-CT2: Ability to use software within the context of Industrial Engineering.
-CT3: Capacity for information management.
-CT4: Team working.
-CT10: Problem solving.
*Specific:
-CE20: Knowledge about mass and energy balances, biotechnology, mass transfer, separation operations, chemical reaction engineering, reactor design, and recovery and transformation of raw materials and energy resources.
-CE22: Capacity for the design and management of applied experimentation procedures, especially for the determination of thermodynamic and transport properties, and modeling of phenomena and systems in the field of chemical engineering, systems with fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer operations, kinetics of chemical reactions and reactors.
The achievement of the basic training of the student will be carried out through 41 h of lecturing, where the theoretical fundamentals will be explained, and a number of exercises and problems will be solved in order to better understand and apply the theoretical knowledge. Active participation by the student will be sought.
The seminars (8 h), where the solving of problems and activities will be featured, will focus on the development of the capacity for the design of separation equipment by continuous and intermittent contact between phases.
Group tutorials (2 h) will be developed to work on specific topics, with particular emphasis on the active participation of the students, organised in groups.
Software tools will be used to support the learning activity, including the utilisation of the Learning Management System (LMS) of the USC.
Visits will be scheduled to process plants to observe in situ the application of the acquired knowledge. These field practices will be subject to the availability of funding.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the “Regulations for evaluating student academic performance and reviewing grades” will apply.
The learning process will be continuously monitored through the solving of case studies and activities, in person or not, individually or in groups. Moreover, a final exam will take place. The final mark of the student will consider both the result of the exam and all other developed activities, and it is structured in the following items:
*Work developed in the seminars and in the group tutorials: up to 3.5 points. Assessed competences: CB1, CB2, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, CT10, CE20 and CE22.
*Final exam: up to 6.5 points. Assessed competences: CB1, CB2, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT10, CE20 and CE22.
The first item will correspond to the continuous monitoring assessment (35% of the final mark). Personal initiative, team working capacity, and ability to face and solve problems, along with the obtained results and their critical analysis, will be evaluated in these activities.
Only those students not having participated in any of the seminars, group tutorials, and exam will be granted a ‘Not shown’ mark.
To pass the course, a minimum final mark of 5.0 points will be needed, as well as a minimum of 40% of the maximum possible mark in the exam. In the case of meeting the first requirement but not the second, the overall mark finally assigned to the student will be 4.9 points.
If the student does not pass the course in the First Opportunity, her/his mark of the continuous monitoring will be transferred to the Second Opportunity, thus having to repeat just the exam.
No partial marks will be kept from one call (academic year) to another.
Expositive classes: in person, 41 h; autonomous work by the student, 41 h.
Interactive classes (seminars): in person, 8 h; autonomous work by the student, 36 h.
Group tutorials: in person, 2 h; autonomous work by the student, 2 h.
Exam and revision: in person, 4; autonomous work by the student, 16 h.
TOTAL: in person, 55 h; autonomous work by the student, 95 h
The student should be knowledgeable in thermodynamics applied to chemical engineering, application of mass and energy balances, and basic calculation methods for problem solving. It is advisable to have previously passed the following courses: Chemical Engineering I, Applied Thermodynamics, and Chemical Engineering II.
The course will be taught in both official languages of the Autonomous Community.
