Study programme competencies
Code Study programme competences
A30 Coñecementos sobre balances de materia e enerxía, biotecnoloxía, trasfega de materia, operacións de separación, enxeñaría da reacción química, deseño de reactores e valorización e transformación de materias primas e recursos enerxéticos.
A31 Capacidade para o deseño e a xestión de procedementos de experimentación aplicada, especialmente para a determinación de propiedades termodinámicas e de transporte, así como a modelaxe de fenómenos e sistemas no ámbito da enxeñaría química, sistemas con fluxo de fluídos, transmisión de calor, operacións de trasfega de materia, cinética das reaccións químicas e reactores.
B2 Que os estudantes saiban aplicar os coñecementos adquiridos e a súa capacidade de resolución de problemas en ámbitos novos ou pouco coñecidos dentro de contextos máis amplos (ou multidisciplinares) relacionados coa súa área de estudo.
B3 Que os estudantes sexan capaces de integrar coñecementos e enfrontarse á complexidade de formular xuízos a partir dunha información que, sendo incompleta ou limitada, inclúa reflexións sobre as responsabilidades sociais e éticas vinculadas á aplicación dos seus coñecementos e xuízos.
B4 Que os estudantes saiban comunicar as súas conclusións -e os coñecementos e razóns últimas que as sustentan- a públicos especializados e profanos dun modo claro e sen ambigüidades.
C1 Utilizar as ferramentas básicas das tecnoloxías da información e as comunicacións (TIC) necesarias para o exercicio da súa profesión e para a aprendizaxe ao longo da súa vida.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Supervised projects It is a choice based on the resolution by the students of the responsibility for their own learning.
This education system is based on two basic elements: the independent learning of the students and that the tutor
Oral presentation All the students will present the the work/s during the course in the time assigned to them and in front of their peers.
Problem solving Technique by means of which has resolved a problematic situation, from the knowledge that have worked, which can have more than one possible solution.
Objective test Exam written used for the evaluation of learning. You can combine different types of questions: questions multiple-choice, problems, etc.
Field trip Activities that take place in a context that is external to the University academic environment (companies, institutions, agencies, monuments, etc.) related to the field of study of the subject.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral presentation complemented with the use of audiovisual media in order to pass on knowledge and facilitate learning.

Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Supervised projects A30 A31 B4 B2 C1 The coursework will be carried out by students with faculty of matter auuda. These works must provide to teachers both in paper format by email or platform designated by the faculty. 20
Oral presentation B2 B3 B4 The work done during the course must be presented by the authors on dates deemed appropriate by the faculty. Works will be preferably in groups, and all the members of each of the groups will have to present orally the obtained results. 15
Objective test A30 A31 B2 B3 B4 It consists in the realization of the corresponding midterms and/or final exam. 60
Problem solving B2 B3 C1 Different activities that the student must resolve and give teachers will take place along the course. 5
 
Assessment comments

Is necessary to remove a minimum of 3.5 in the midterms (if any) and a half 4 so entering computer the other metodologías. If not be able to perform any of the above methodologies the valuation of the same will happen to the objective test. Assistance to more than 90% of the scheduled sessions is mandatory. In the event that the field trips are carried out, shall be binding to overcome matter
