BASIC AND GENERAL
CB1 - That students demonstrate to possess and understand knowledge in an area of study that starts from the base of general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although it is supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that imply knowledge from the forefront of your field of study
CB2 - That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and possess the competencies that can be demonstrated through the development and defense of arguments and problem solving within their area of study
CB3 - That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their area of study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature
CB4 - That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialized and non-specialized audiences
CB5 - That students develop those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy
SPECIFIC
CE6 - Be able to analyze and design biotechnological industrial processes and apply them to product improvement.
CE7 - Have knowledge about balances and transfers of matter and energy, applied thermodynamics and separation operations, as well as knowing how to apply them to solving engineering problems.
TRANSVERSAL
CT2 - Search, process, analyze and synthesize information from various sources.
CT6 - Critically reasoning
Exhibition Classes 20h. Lectures will be given including resolution of practical problems and case studies. The use of computer tools will be promoted. In general, the common methodological aspects will be available in this discipline.
Interactive Classes Seminar 17h. The seminars will be held at the end of the presentation of the topics. In them, in addition to the resolution of a problem by the teacher, the students individually or in groups, will solve a problem related to the finished topic, which will be delivered and considered for final evaluation. Students will also carry out specific assignments or activities. In these activities, there will be a review of recent classes forcing students to keep up to date on the contents of the subject, which will facilitate the preparation of the final exam. The Excel spreadsheet will be used in the required problems. Design programs such as Hysis -and/or Superpro Designer ay also be used.
The tutorials will involve two directions. The first will correspond to the classical tutorials (doubts about theory and problems) and the second will include tutoring the work that the students will do individually or in groups.
By competencies:
Lecture classes: CE6, CE7, CE8, CG2, CG5, CT2, CT4, CT5, CT6, CB5
Seminars / Titories: CE6, CE7, CE8, CG2, CG5, CT2, CT5, CT6, CB5
The Virtual Campus will be used as a teaching support tool.
Teaching will be taught in Spanish
In the case of developing the course in an adapted normal scenario , the activities will be face-to-face. Seminars and Tutorials can also be done electronically.
It will be carried out by means of a final exam of the subject (60% of the overall mark) that will be developed in two parts.
The first will be an exam on theoretical questions (30% of the exam grade) and a problem exam (70% of the total exam grade).
In the continuous evaluation of the students (40% of the overall mark), the following will be taken into account:
Attendance and participation in class, Seminars and specific Works that represent 35% of the overall mark.
The audits will be subject to a grade representing 5% of the overall grade.
Summarizing these data it would be:
Rating distribution
a) Exam (60%) [Theory (30%) Problems (70%)]
A minimum score of 35% is required in each part to pass the exam
b) Attendance and active participation in class 10%
c) Seminars (problems) 10% and Works 15%
d) Tutorials 5%
TA minimum overall mark of 5.0 on a basis of 10 will be needed to pass the course, reaching at least the 35 % of the maximum possible mark in each of the assessment parts. For those students who meet the first requisite but not the second, the overall mark finally assigned to the student will be the one resulting from considering solely the mark in that part in which the minimum was not achieved.
The marks of sections b), c) and d) will be communicated to the students before the final exam
The marks achieved in the course in sections b), c) and d) will be kept for the second opportunity, in which the exam will account for 60% of the overall mark

In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Regulations for the validation of academic performance for two students and for the review of qualifications" shall apply.
4.5 ETCS (114 h)
Estimate a maximum of an hour and a half for each hour of regulated class. That is, over a total of contact hours (including tutorials and exams) that corresponds to a global equivalent of 4.5 ECTS (it would be 45 contact hours and 69 hours of student work).
The subject is 4.5 ECTS (total 114 h)

It is recommended to have previously taken Mass Transfer.
He considers it important to keep the concepts up to date, or that it implies a daily segment and maintenance "or day" gives discipline.
The subject will be taught in Spanish
The Virtual Classroom (on the USC web platform) will be used as a repository for the documentation on the subject.
In the case of telematic teaching, it will be necessary to have a computer with a microphone and camera to carry out the telematic activities scheduled throughout the course.
