Basic
CB3: That students have the ability to collect and interpret relevant data (usually within their area of study) to make judgments that include a reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical issues.
Generals
CG3: Knowledge of basic and technological subjects, which enables them to learn new methods and theories, and equips them with versatility to adapt to new situations.
CG4: Ability to solve problems with initiative, creativity decision-making, critical reasoning and to communicate and transmit knowledge, abilities, and skills in the field of Industrial Engineering in its specialty in Industrial Chemistry.
CG7 - Ability to analyze and assess the social and environmental impact of technical solutions CG10 - Ability to work in a multilingual and multidisciplinary environment.
Transversal
CT1: Capacity for analysis and synthesis.
CT4: Ability to work in a team.
CT5: Demonstrate ethical commitment.
CT6: Demonstrate sensitivity towards environmental issues.
Specific
CEOP2: Knowledge of the chemical bases of the environment and the impact of human activity on it.
The teaching is divided into 35 hours of master classes (2 hours of tutorials and 33 of expository classes), 4 hours of seminars and 12 hours of laboratory practices.
In the expository classes (of compulsory attendance), the teacher can count on the support of different teaching resources: oral presentation with the use of the tarpaulin, audiovisual and computer media, internet resources, among others, but always using the books recommended in the bibliography.
The classes will be developed interactively with the students, discussing with them the most difficult or especially interesting aspects of each topic.
In the tutorials the doubts that the students may have related to the taught subject will be resolved.
In the seminars (of compulsory attendance) what will be tried is that the students participate actively, for which
They must solve the problems and questions previously proposed by the teacher or those proposed in the seminar itself. Some may be solved in a group in these classes and others individually. These classes may also be used to deal with topics that are transversal to the contents of the subject. Individual or group written works may be proposed. In these sessions, intermediate written controls may be carried out on the knowledge acquired or expositions of individual or group work. The notes of the control works or bulletins of exercises proposed and carried out in these sessions will count for the continuous evaluation.
The practical laboratory classes (compulsory attendance) will be aimed at the student acquiring skills in the handling of laboratory material and developing their deductive, communicative, teamwork and analytical skills. Likewise, the importance of safety standards in laboratories and the correct handling of waste will be stressed. The student will carry out in four sessions, of three hours each, a series of laboratory experiments directly related to the knowledge acquired in the theoretical classes. At the end of the practices, each student must present a report or a practice notebook with the work done.
At all times, the Virtual Campus of the USC will be used as teaching support.
The qualification of each student will be done through continuous evaluation (35%) and the completion of a final exam (65%).
The continuous evaluation will include monitoring the student's personal work, which may include written controls, delivered and exposed works, student participation in the classroom, tutorials or other means specified in the programming of the subject.
Competences assessed in the continuous assessment: CB3, CG3, CG4, CG7, CG10, CT5, CT6, CEOP2. Competences assessed in the final exam: CB3, CG3, CG4, CT1, CEOP2
Attendance at seminary classes in small groups and laboratory practices will be considered compulsory in general. Since laboratory practices are integrated into the subject, their evaluation will be included in the percentage of continuous evaluation. In addition, to pass the course, students must achieve the qualification of suitable in laboratory practices.
Competences assessed in the practices: CB3, CG10, CT4, CEOP2.
"In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the" Regulations for evaluating the academic performance of students and reviewing grades "will apply.
Theoretical classroom hours: 33
Tutorial hours: 2
Seminars classroom hours: 4
Practical classroom hours: 12
Exam and revision hours: 2
Non-classroom hours: 97
Total work volume: 150 hours.
- It is advisable for the student to attend the tutorials.
- It is important to keep the study of the subject "up to date" and that they try to solve the problem bulletins personally. The resolution of problems and questions is essential for learning this subject.
- After completing a topic, it is useful to summarize the important points, making sure you know their meaning.
- Consult and manage the recommended bibliographic media.
- Carefully read the scripts provided by the teacher before beginning the laboratory practices.
- It is convenient to use the tutorials to clarify doubts that may arise both in the classroom and in the laboratory.
- It is recommended to regularly consult the virtual classroom of the subject, where the teaching guide of the subject, the practical scripts, the possible problem bulletins and any other supplementary material that can help students in their study will be available (links web, etc.).
The subject is taught in the two official languages of the autonomous community.
This subject is accepted to the project "Escolle en galego-Sairache más a conta" of the USC, for which the materials enjoy a subsidy of 50% of their cost.
