AimsToggle Navigation
- Know, understand and apply to the world of industrial chemistry everything related to fluid flow, heat transmission, and matter transfer
- Apply the strategies of scientific methodology: analyze problems qualitatively and quantitatively.
- Pose hypotheses and solutions to solve the problems that arise in the area of chemical engineering.
- Communicate knowledge appropriately using the vocabulary and terminology of industrial chemistry engineering.
- Work in multidisciplinary and multilingual environments, integrating skills and knowledge that facilitate decision making in the field of industrial chemistry engineering.
- Know, understand and apply the legislation, specifications, regulations and mandatory standards.
- Carry out measurements, calculations, studies and reports, during and at the end, of each of the practices carried out in the subject.
