TRANSVERSAL SKILLS - ABILITY TO LEARN:
KNOWING HOW TO APPLY THEIR KNOWLEDGE TO DIFFERENT CONTEXTS FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE, AND DEEPEN THE TOPICS COVERED, SPECIALIZING TO THE SPECIFIC TOPIC UNDER CONSIDERATION.
Prerequisites
PREREQUISITES
PREREQUISITES ARE MASTERING THE BASIC CHEMICAL ENGINEERING CONCEPTS, MAINLY THE THERMODYNAMICS OF IDEAL SYSTEMS. MOREOVER, A BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN EQUATION OF STATE (SRK, PR FOR EXAMPLE) AND THE BINARY INTERACTION COEFFICIENT TO ADAPT EOS TO REAL SYSTEMS IS REQUIRED. OTHER PREREQUISITES ARE THE KNOWLEDGE OF MATERIAL, ENERGY AND MOMENTUM BALANCES, THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE CHEMICAL ENGINEERING FLUID DYNAMICS AND TRANSPORT PHENOMENA, THE KNOWLEDGE OF A BASIC PROCESS CONTROL.

Verification of learning
EVALUATION CRITERIA
THE EVALUATION OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE EXPECTED OUTCOMES WILL BE CARRIED OUT WITH A SCRIPT AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW.
THE ASSESSMENT OF THE LEARNING OUTCOMES, CARRIED OUT IN THE FINAL EXAMINATION, WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE FOLLOWING EQUIVALENT CRITERIA: A) KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY TO SOLVE MAJOR ISSUES THAT REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF EXPRESSED CONCEPTS; B) KNOWLEDGE OF THE BASIC ASSUMPTIONS AND LOGIC OF THE DISCIPLINE; C) ABILITY TO EXTEND THE APPLICATION OF BASIC CONCEPTS TO SOLVE ISSUES IN NEW APPLICATIONS, D) PROPERTY OF LANGUAGE WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE SPECIFIC TERMINOLOGY OF THE DISCIPLINE.
THE EXAM WILL BE EVALUATED SUFFICIENT WHEN THE STUDENT IS ABLE TO SET THE DESIGN OF THE OPERATIONS UNIT, USING PROPERLY ALTHOUGH NOT READILY PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL-PHYSICAL VARIABLES INVOLVED, AND IF IT SHOWS SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE VOCABULARY OF THE SUBJECT. THE STUDENT WHO SUCCESSFULLY PROJECTS, WHICH HAS FULL AND READY PERCEPTION OF THE EFFECTS OF THE DESIGN VARIABLES AND SHOWING MASTERY OF THE SUBJECT LEXICON IS RATED AS EXCELLENT.
