Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• Understand the stages of an engineering approach
• Design, evaluate and optimise solutions addressing the problem
• Identify and acquire the information and skills needed to solve the problem
• Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in science and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Identify, describe and explain the basic principles of engineering particularly in their specialising field
• Select and rigorously apply knowledge, tools and methods in sciences and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines

Learning Outcomes of UE

Identify correctly the number of degrees of freedom of industrial chemical processes ; write and solve mass and energy balances (without and with chemical reactions) ; assess transport phenomena in a single phase or between phases (mass, energy and momentum) ; handle easily units of measurement ; calculate the main physical and chemical properties (enthalpy, viscosity, diffusivity, density, ...).
Understand and explain the main conception and operating principles of essential separation unit operations: distillation, absorption, liquid-liquid extraction, adsorption and membrane systems - apply adequately equilibrium laws, mass and energy balances (for continuous or batch operations), transfer kinetics and hydrodynamics - use numerical tools and softwares relative to these unit operations
