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
• Identify and describe the problem to be solved and the functional need (of prospective clients) to be met considering the state of technology
• 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, ...).
