2500897 Chemical Engineering | OB | 2 | 2 |
Having studied the subject of Balances in Chemical Engineering. It is recommended to be studying the subjects of Chemical Kinetics and Fluid Circulation.
Understand Catalan, since the lab-guidesare written in Catalan.
The main objective of this course is the experimental verification of some basic aspects regarding chemical engineering. These aspects are explained in other subjects of the Degree. These aspects include:
In addition, being one of the first lab-courses, special emphasis will be done on writing the reports regarding the experimental work.
The contents of the course are divided into 6 practices that students must do at the laboratory.
The methodology of the course is based on the development at the laboratory of the 6 practices mentioned above. To carry out the practices, the student will have a lab-guide for each practice that must be read and prepared before the start of each practice.
The total number of sessions per student will be 20, distributed as follows:
Being an eminently practical learning, attendance at laboratory sessions is mandatory. The non-attendance will be penalized according to what is explained in the evaluation section.
Depending on the number of students, the academic calendar and the number of experimental set-ups, the students will be divided into lab-period, up to a maximum of 3, and each lab-period into different work groups, up to a maximum of 12.
Safety lab-rules
It is mandatory to wear a lab coat, note-taking material and the practice guides previously studied. Contact lenses can not be used.
The general safety rules in the laboratory can be found in the Virtual Campus. The first day of practical work in the laboratory, not the day of course presentation, the document, signed, should be delivered to teachers. The document is generated when the base test of "Safety in the laboratories" is passed. The test is in the Virtual Campus.
Attendance to the lab-period in the laboratory will be made alternately in periods of 6 working days: 6 days the lab-period 1, 6 the 2 and 6 the 3; then turns the lab-period 1 6 days, 6 days the 2 and 6 days the 3, and finally 6 days the turn 1, 6 the 2 and 6 the 3.
The dates of lab-practices and the delivery of the reports for each lab-period will be published in the Virtual Campus.

Evaluation process and activities
Attendance to the practical sessions is mandatory to pass the course. In addition, evaluation activities include:
The final grade will be calculated as 15% attitude at the laboratory, 15% final exam and 70% reports. The maximum grade for those students who do not take the optional global exam will be 8.5 out of 10.
Evaluation activities schedule
At the end of each period of 6 working days of practices, and within the established period, each group of students must submit a report for each of the practices carried out. At the beginning of the subject, the corresponding reports delivery dates will be informed.
The final optional exam will be done in the exam period of the Degree according to the calendar marked by the coordination.
Recovery process
As this is a practical course, no recovery system is defined for the course nor for a failed report.
Procedure for reviewing the qualifications
The returning date of the corrected reports will be informed in a timely manner, so that students can to review the correction and improve the aspects thatare necessary for the following reports.
Plagiarism and other irregularities
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures, and in accordance with current academic regulations, any irregularities committed by the student that could lead to a variation of the score of an evaluation act will be scored with a zero. Therefore, copying or allowing to copy a practice or any other evaluation activity will imply a zero (0) in the attitude note and, therefore, suspend the course having a mark of 3 over 10. In addition, the student will not be able to continue with the practices in the current course.
Repeaters
Students who failed the course due to copying, have to repeat the course as if they were doing it for the first time.
The rest of the repeating students have two possibilities:

Final exam | 15 % | 2 | 0.08 | 1, 4, 2, 8, 6 |
Reports | 70 % | 0 | 0 | 1, 4, 2, 8, 6, 12 |
