Basic
-CB1: Students have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in a field of study that part of the basis of general secondary education, and is typically at a level which, although it is supported by advanced textbooks, includes also some aspects that imply knowledge of the forefront of their field of study.
-CB2: 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.
-CB5: That students have developed those skills needed to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.
General
-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
-CG5 Knowledge to perform measurements, calculations, assessments, appraisals, surveys, studies, reports, work plans and similar work.
Specific
-CE7 Knowledge of applied thermodynamics and heat transfer. Basic principles and their application to solving engineering problems. This is adquired together with other subjects of the degree.
-CE19 Knowledge on the operation and design of facilities and services related to the production of thermal and mechanical energy devices.
Transverse
-CT2: Ability to use computer applications in the field of Industrial Engineering.
A) Lectures in large group
Lesson taught by the teacher who may have different formats (theory, problems and / or general examples, general guidelines on the matter...). The teacher may have the support of audiovisual and computer media but in general, students do not need to use them in class. The teacher will use as a basis the recommended books.
B) Interactive small group classes (seminars)
Theoretical / practical class in which applications of theory, problems, exercises and analysis equipment are proposed and solved. The student participates actively in these classes. For each seminar the students will be proposed a series of problems, some of which will be solved in groups in these classes. Continuous assessment tests are included.
C) Practical classes
Practical classes are developed individually in the computer room. A computer program is employed to perform simulations of the main power and cooling cycles that have been discussed during the lectures. Students will have in advance the scripts of all practices, so they can be suitably prepared before implementation. At the end of the sessions, the student must submit a report containing the results of the simulations, as well as a discussion of them based on a number of issues proposed in the scripts.
D) Tutorials slate very small group
Each student will account for two hours, according to previously established and published schedule. Monitoring activities as directed exercises, clarification of doubts about problems, exercises, readings or other proposed tasks, presentation, presentation, discussion or comment made work individually or in small groups are proposed.
In many cases the teacher will require exercises delivery prior to the celebration of mentoring. These deliveries will be made using the virtual platform for teaching support. The delivery will be exhibited in sufficient time according to the progress of the course. Attendance at these classes is mandatory.
ATTENDANCE: It is compulsory to attend practices, seminars and tutorials unless duly justified exceptional cause. Absences must be supported by documents, accepting examination and health reasons as well as cases falling within the existing university regulations.
EVALUATION OF FIRST-TIME STUDENTS: The passing grade is obtained with a final score of 5 out of 10. The final grade of the student, both in the first and second opportunity will be based on the evaluation of the following aspects:
5% of the final mark: continuous assessment based on class participation, delivery of exercises, and the tests carried out in the seminars.
Competencies evaluated: CB1, CB2, CB5, CG4, CE7, CE19.
20% of the final grade: Labs evaluation based on the continuous assessment during the experiments, the quality of the lab notebook, and a number of issues related to each experiment to be properly resolved by the student. You must obtain a minimum grade of 4 out of 10 to pass the course.
Competencies evaluated: CB2, CG4, CG5, CE7, CE19, CT7.
75% of the final grade: final examination of the subject with conceptual issues and problems. You must obtain a minimum grade of 4 out of 10 on the exam to pass the course.
Competencies evaluated: CB1, CB2, CB5, CG4, CE7, CE19.
STUDENT EVALUATION OF TWO OR AFTER REGISTRATION: The final grade will be the same as for students of first registration. The contributions of the continuous assessment and practices are preserved in case they have been approved (5 out of 10 in each) and in this case it is not compulsory to attend these activities. If a student asks to be evaluated again in these parts, you must meet the standards of students of first registration and the new note will be used for the calculation of the final mark. In any case, the final exam will be preserved.
