BASIC AND GENERAL
CG2 - Identify information from the scientific literature using the appropriate channels and integrate said information to raise
and contextualize a research topic
CG5 - Use scientific terminology in English to argue the experimental results in the context of the
chemical profession
CB6 - Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and / or application of
ideas, often in a research context
CB9 - That students know how to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and ultimate reasons that support them to audiences
specialized and non-specialized in a clear and unambiguous way
CB10 - That students possess the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will
be largely self-directed or autonomous
TRANSVERSAL
CT1 - Prepare, write and publicly defend scientific and technical reports.
CT3 - Work autonomously and efficiently in the daily practice of research or professional activity.
CT4 - Appreciate the value of quality and continuous improvement, acting with rigor, responsibility and professional ethics.
SPECIFIC
CE1 - Define concepts, principles, theories and specialized facts of the different areas of Chemistry
CE3 - Apply materials and biomolecules in innovative fields of industry and chemical engineering
CE4 - Innovate in chemical synthesis and analysis methods related to the different areas of Chemistry
Theoretical classes. Exhibition classes (use of blackboard, computer, cannon), complemented by the tools of virtual teaching. Seminars carried out with the Master's own teaching staff, or with invited professionals from the company, the administration or other universities. Interactive sessions related to the different subjects with debates and exchange of opinions with the students. Resolution of practical exercises (problems, test questions, interpretation and processing of information, evaluation of scientific publications, etc.). Carrying out works, both individually and in groups, on scientific topics related to the different subjects of the Master. Oral presentation of works, reports, etc., including debate with teachers and students.Use of specialized software and the Internet. On-line teaching support (Virtual Campus). Personal study based on the different sources of information. Personal study based on the different sources of information. Carrying out the different tests for the verification of obtaining both theoretical and practical knowledge and the acquisition of skills and attitudes.
