SPECIFIC SKILLS



The following are the skills of this subject defined by the specific competencies of the module (TEQI) to which it is related (https://www.ehu.eus/es/web/guest/grado-ingenieria-quimica-industrial- alava/verificacion-seguimiento-y- acreditacion?p_redirect=descargaFichero&p_cod_proceso=egr&p_tipo=MEMORIA&p_cod_titulo=88&p_anyo_acad=).



1. To acquire knowledge of mass transfer, chemical reaction engineering (TEQI1).



2. Acquire knowledge and skills to develop thermodynamic concepts in physical and chemical processes (TEQI5).



3. Know how to communicate adequately the knowledge, procedures, results, skills and aspects of the field of Industrial Chemical Engineering, using the specific vocabulary and terminology, and the appropriate means (TEQI9).



LEARNING ACHIEVEMENTS



The acquisition of these competencies is expressed through the achievement of the specific learning outcomes of the subject. These results are the following:



1. To know the different types of transport phenomena.



2. To know the thermodynamic concepts related to equilibrium, and to apply them to the equilibrium between phases and chemical equilibrium.



3. To know the thermodynamic properties of surfaces and to identify and understand their applications.



4. To know the reaction mechanisms, and the basic principles related to homogeneous, heterogeneous and enzymatic catalysis.



5. To know the principles of photochemical and electrochemical reactions and their applications.

MethodologyToggle Navigation

FACE-TO-FACE ACTIVITIES



The methodology to be carried out for the development of the contents of the previous section, and consequently, for the achievement of the corresponding learning results, is summarized as follows:



MASTER CLASSES (M) (45 h)



Consisting of the development of the course syllabus, accompanied by explanations of the concepts, case studies and problem solving.



CLASSROOM PRACTICES (PA) (15 h)

Resolution of questions and problems in groups on the contents of the theoretical foundations developed in the lectures.





TUTORIALS



Tutorials, both individual and in group, are used to solve doubts, to guide work and problems, to situate the evolutionary state of the students within the subject, to propose improvements to increase academic performance, etc. In general, it is a voluntary activity (individual or group) and is carried out at the students' request.





NON-FACE-TO-FACE ACTIVITIES (90 h)



Continuous work by the student is essential to develop the competencies of the subject. In addition to the preparation of the written tests, the student must dedicate the hours of non face-to-face teaching to:



o Complete notes, consult bibliography and solve questions and/or problems that, in some cases, may be deliverable assignments.





* If health circumstances make it necessary to carry out non face-to-face teaching, the UPV/EHU's IT resources (Teams, eGela, etc.) will be used.

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION



Written test (70 % of the final grade)



The written test will have a theory section and a problem section.



Individual work (20% of the final grade) that will be evaluated in the following way:



- Resolution of the different activities, problems, individual questions posed during the course.



Group work (10 % of the final grade) which will be evaluated in the following way:



- Carrying out the group work

REQUIREMENTS TO PASS THE COURSE



- Obtain a grade of 4 out of 10 in each of the evaluation activities.



- Obtain a grade of 5 in the final grade.



Those students who do not meet any of these requirements are graded with a 4.0 (maximum) in the corresponding report, regardless of the final grade obtained.



*If health circumstances make it necessary to carry out a non face-to-face evaluation, the computerized means available to the UPV/EHU (Webex, eGela, etc.) will be used. The characteristics of this non-attendance evaluation will be published in eGela.



WAIVER OF THE CALL

Those students who do not take the written test will be recorded as “No-shows” in the corresponding report.



FINAL EVALUATION



Those students who meet the conditions established in the regulations of the UPV/EHU and request to take a final test within the term established for this purpose (Chapter II, Article 8 of the Agreement of 15 December 2016, of the Governing Council of the University of the Basque Country / Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea, which approves the Regulations governing the Evaluation of students in official undergraduate degrees), they must perform the following activities:



- A written test related to the theoretical-practical contents of the subject, which has a weight of 100% of the final grade.



REQUIREMENTS TO PASS THE COURSE (FINAL EVALUATION)



Obtain a grade of 5 in the final grade.



*If health circumstances make it necessary to carry out a non face-to-face evaluation, the computerized means available to the UPV/EHU (Teams, eGela, etc.) will be used. The characteristics of this non face-to-face evaluation would be published in eGela



WAIVER OF THE CALL

Those students who do not take the written test will be recorded as “No-shows” in the corresponding report.
