GENERAL COMPETENCES

G003 Knowledge of basic and technological subjects, which enables them to learn new methods and theories, and provides them with the versatility to adapt to new situations.



TRANSVERSAL COMPETENCES

T001 Ability to solve problems with initiative, decision making, creativity, critical reasoning, respecting the principles of universal accessibility and design for all people.

T004 Ability to analyze and assess the social and environmental impact of technical solutions, taking into account the sustainability of these solutions and their impact on climate change.



SPECIFIC COMPETENCES

M01FB04 Ability to understand and apply the basic knowledge principles of general chemistry, organic and inorganic chemistry and their applications in engineering.



LEARNING OUTCOMES-Degree

RAG6 The graduate will identify the fundamental laws of physics and chemistry that are applicable in the field of engineering.

RAT1 The graduate will be able to solve problems with initiative, decision-making, creativity, and critical thinking.

RAT4 The graduate will be able to assess the social and environmental impact of technical solutions, taking into account the sustainability of the solutions and their impact on climate change.



LEARNING OUTCOMES-Subject

RAFB4 The graduate will identify the fundamental laws of chemistry (general, organic and inorganic chemistry) that are applicable in the field of engineering.

General chemistry

Tema 01. Chemical compounds, their bonds and states of matter.

Tema 02. Chemical thermodynamics.

Tema 03. Kinetics of chemical reactions.

Tema 04. Aqueous solutions.

Tema 05. Reactions in aqueous solution. Equilibria of proton and electron transfer.

Organic chemistry

Tema 06. Fundamental concepts of Organic Chemistry.

Tema 07. Aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.

Tema 08. Common functional groups in organic chemistry.

Tema 09. Stereoisomerism.

Tema 10. Reactions of organic compounds.

Tema 11. macromolecules.

Tema 12. Chemistry of living beings: lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids.

The methodology that will be followed in the subject so that the students develop the competences and materialize the learning results, will be both individual and group.



Among the individual ones, the master class modality stands out, where expositions will be given by the teacher.



Part of the face-to-face time will be dedicated to carrying out various activities, generally to carrying out problems that will be solved to promote comprehension work through practical questions. The resolution of questions and problems will be carried out encouraging the participation of the students.



Another of the teaching methodologies to be used will be laboratory practices. Trials will be carried out to obtain data on the properties that have been developed theoretically in problems and in lectures. Students will have a practical script that allows them to develop activities and experimental techniques well, which will be carried out in the laboratory. In order to facilitate and ensure the student's learning, the practices will be monitored through previous questions to be resolved by the student before entering the laboratory and through the questions that will be collected at the end of the laboratory practices.

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION



The so-called Continuous Evaluation of the subject in its ordinary call is made according to the procedure and the criteria that are exposed in this section. It consists of three different contributions:



1. Written final exam. Its statement and content corresponds to the General Chemistry part of the course program. The grade obtained in it represents 60% of the final grade that appears in the minutes, but provided that the final written exam grade is greater than or equal to 5.0 (out of a maximum score of 10). Otherwise, the grade obtained in the written exam automatically becomes the final grade of the record.

2. Additional activities. In these activities, the evolution of the students in the knowledge of the content of the Organic Chemistry part of the subject program is assessed through written tests. The grade obtained for the set of activities carried out during the course represents 30% of the final grade that appears in the minutes, but provided that the final grade is greater than or equal to 5.0 (out of a maximum score of 10 ) and 6.5 (out of a maximum score of 10) in the case of MCQ tests. At the beginning of the course, the teacher will define what they will consist of, the delivery deadlines and their evaluation percentages. This mark will be kept only for the ordinary and extraordinary call of this course.

3. Laboratory practices. The grade obtained for all the laboratory practices represents 10% of the final grade that appears in the minutes. This mark will be kept only for the ordinary and extraordinary call of this course.



FINAL EVALUATION



All students who wish to be qualified through this other procedure in the ordinary call will suffice to communicate it in writing to the teacher of the subject before the ninth week of the course, indicating their express wish to renounce the Continuous Assessment.



This final evaluation includes the following two contributions:



1. Written final exam. Its statement and content corresponds to the General Chemistry part of the course program. The grade obtained in it represents 70% of the final grade that appears in the minutes, but provided that the final written exam grade is greater than or equal to 5.0 (out of a maximum score of 10). Otherwise, the grade obtained in the written exam automatically becomes the final grade of the record.

2. MCQ tests of the Organic Chemistry part of the course syllabus. The grade obtained represents 30% of the final grade that appears on the record, but provided that the grade is greater than or equal to 6.5 (out of a maximum score of 10).



Any of the two types of evaluations collected here are based on the following aspects: logical, orderly and legible exposition; approaches; procedures used, results and their discussion; and finally, possible conclusions.

It is recommended that all students have the student's guide, the regulations, the program, the statements of the problems and the scripts of the practices.

On the other hand, in order to carry out the laboratory practices, it is necessary for the students to attend them with individual protection material (safety glasses, gown and gloves).
