Teaching Methodologies
The theoretical contents are presented in theoretical lessons, and then these contents are applied to practical exercises carried out in theoretical-practical lessons. The assessment methodology consists of continuous/periodical assessment with two assessment sheets throughout the semester with the weight of 75% of the global assessment the remaining 25% of the global assessment refers to the laboratory assessment (laboratory performance, report preparation and discussion of the laboratory work or assignments). Students who do not opt for the periodic assessment method can do the normal exam, with 25% of the global assessment corresponding to the laboratory assessment, which will have to be by continuous assessment.
Learning Results
The objectives defined for the UC of Chemistry are related to its fundamental role, generalist and pedagogical support to the study of Engineering. It is intended to provide to the students the fundaments bases of chemistry that underlie the transformation and characterization of matter and the structures that it forms. The skills to be acquired by the student are: Solve physical-chemical problems, using an appropriate form. Identify, interpret and know how to communicate the relationship between microstructure and material properties. Interpreting and equating physico-chemical problems involving homogeneous or heterogeneous systems. Predict the direction of evolution the chemical systems based on thermodynamic data. Interpret and communicate mechanisms by electrochemical processes. Complement and consolidate knowledge of the subjects covered in the course through laboratory practice, being able to access new knowledge by the use of the bibliographic material.
