BASIC COMPETENCES:
CB2: That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the skills are usually demonstrated through the elaboration and defence of arguments and the resolution of problems within their field of study.
-CB5: That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake studies with a high degree of autonomy
GENERAL COMPETENCES:
CG4: Ability to solve problems with initiative, decision making, creativity, critical reasoning and communicate and convey knowledge, skills and abilities in the field of mechanical engineering in his speciality of Industrial Chemistry.
TRANSVERSAL COMPETENCES:
-CT3: Ability to manage information.
ESPECIFIC COMPETENCES:
-CE24: Knowledge of the chemical elements, their nature, properties and industrial applications.
Teaching is divided, by group, and over the six months in 33 hours of lectures, 4 hours of seminar sessions, 2 small group tutorials and 12 hours of laboratory practice.
In the lectures (mostly theoretical), are explained the theoretical concepts established in the program of the matter and, in specific classes, resolve previously proposed questions through bulletins, trying to follow a methodology that will facilitate the acquisition of the knowledge by the students. The teacher may have the support of different teaching resources: oral presentation with use of blackboard, audio-visual and computer resources, internet resources, among others, but always using as a basis the books recommended in the bibliography and with the support of the virtual campus.
In the interactive small group classes (seminars), will be analysed and discussed the issues and problems previously proposed to the students through bulletins, tried that students participate actively in addition, in these sessions, intermediate written controls may be carried out on the knowledge acquired and the work carried out. The notes of the latter will count for continuous assessment. The doubts that students may have related to the to the subject taught and some questions proposed in the bulletins will be resolved in the tutorials in small groups. These tutorials are also compulsory attendance. In these, as in the seminars, tests may be conducted to evaluate the work of the students that will count for continuous evaluation.
The practical classes of laboratory are applied the knowledge and concepts acquired by the student in the lectures and seminar. Practices will be carried out in the in pairs at the published schedules for this purpose, and will be aimed for students to acquire skills in handling laboratory equipment, and develop their deductive, communicative, of teamwork and analytics capabilities. It will also emphasize the importance of safety standards in laboratories and in the correct handling of waste. For that, the student will perform in four sessions of three hours each, a series of laboratory experiments of those included in the program. The realization of the experimental work will be made from a script, previously supplied to the student, which includes fundamental issues for the understanding of the experiment and which the student must solve. At the end of the internship, each student must submit a notebook of lab with the work done or, depending on the circumstances, to take a written test about its contents that will be included in the continuous evaluation. Likewise, with the laboratory practices program, the ability to transpose theoretical knowledge to its practical application and the preparation of scientific-technical documents is reinforced. Attendance at these classes is mandatory.
The rating of each student will be made by continuous assessment, and completion of a final exam. The assessment will be mostly based on the realization of a final written test, common for all students (75 %) that will consist of solving theoretical issues and exercises, that may be done in the form of short questions, multiple choice questions, numerical problems, resolution of reactions and questions of thematic type. The continuous assessment (25 %) will include the monitoring of the personal work of the student throughout the course, and which may include written controls made in seminars and/or tutorials, deliveries, participation of the student in the classroom, exercises in seminars (10 % in total), and the realization of the practices in which it will be considered for the note the student's work in the laboratory (5%) and the laboratory notebook where the work carried out and the resolution of the questions included in the scripts supplied or, where appropriate, a written test on the contents of the laboratory practices (10%). The student must understand that at least must get on the final exam a minimum grade of 4.5 out of 10 for that the notes of the other parties can be added to the final exam. In the light of the foregoing, the student who has a continuous assessment grade and does not take the final exam will be given a grade of zero; While it will be not presented if, in addition to not presenting to the final exam, it has no note of continuous evaluation.
In addition, to pass the subject, and since the attendance to the laboratory practices is obligatory in general, the student will have to attend all of them, to perform all the practices that are assigned and achieve a qualification of apt.
Students who have not achieved the pass in the previous evaluation process will have a second chance to achieve it doing a new exam at the end of the course, maintaining the continuous assessment score.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and the review of qualifications will apply.
The competences assessed in the previous sections are:
Final examination (75 % of the total grade): CE24
Participation in class, seminars and tutorials (10 % of the total grade): CB5, CG4, CT3, CE24
Practices (15 % of total grade): CB2, CG4, CT3, CE24
Matter consists of 6 ECTS credits and student workload will be 95 hours. The distribution of hours for each of the activities involved in the course will be as follows:
Activity: Contact hours in classroom / hours of personal work for the students
Lectures in large group: 33 / 42
Seminars: 4 / 26
Laboratory practices: 12 / 6
Tutoring in very small group 2 / 2
Conducting exams and review: 4 / 19
Total hours 55 / 95
- It is recommended that students attend the exhibition classes.
- It is important to keep the study of matter "up to date" and try to resolve the problem sets personally. The resolution of problems and issues is critical for learning this subject.
- Once completed a topic, it is useful to summarize the important points, making sure you understand their significance.
- Read carefully the scripts supplied by the teacher before starting laboratory practices and answer the questions included in them.
- It is convenient to use the tutorials to clarify doubts that arise both in the classroom and in the laboratory.
- It is recommended to regularly consult the virtual classroom of the course, where it is available the teaching guide, the scripts of practices, bulletins of problems and other supplementary material to help students with their study.
The subject will be taught in Galician and Castilian.
