Prerequisites
Have obtained the knowledge of the subjects studied in previous years
Objectives and Contextualisation
Understand the resistance of materials, efforts and tensions that are generated.
Dimension beams and simple structures, according to the criteria of resistance and in accordance with the applicable regulations.
Study the deformation of the elastic.
Learn the basics of corrosion and degradation of materials, and their application to chemical plants.
Know the working parameters of pressure devices according to the regulations.
Expand the knowledge of unit operations that were appreciated in previous years to be able to define the plant services.
Introduce the aspects of regulations and safety in the design of industrial plants.
Competences
- Analyse, evaluate, design and operate the systems or processes, equipment and installations used in chemical engineering in accordance with certain requirements, standards and specifications following the principles of sustainable development.
- Apply relevant knowledge of the basic sciences, such as mathematics, chemistry, physics and biology, and the principles of economics, biochemistry, statistics and material science, to comprehend, describe and resolve typical chemical engineering problems.
- Demonstrate knowledge and know how to use the principles of theory of circuits and electric machines
- Demonstrate knowledge of the standards, legislation and regulations applicable to each situation.
- Objectively compare and select different technical options for chemical processes.
Learning Outcomes
- Analyse, evaluate and design elements of material resistance, processing equipment, installations and supporting structures.

Methodology
Master classes i applied classes of problem solving
The students have to do a work on a topic related to the subject
The proposed teaching and assessment methodology that appear in the guide may be subject to changes as a result of the restrictions to face-to-face class attendance imposed by the health authorities

Assessment
a) Process and scheduled evaluation activities
- Activity A. Written test on the content of topics 1. The weight will be 15% of the final grade. This activity is not recoverable.
- Activity B. Written test on the content of topics 1, 2 and 3. The weight will be 50% of the final grade.
- Activity C. Work. Students must submit a written work that will have a weight of 30% on the final grade. This activity is not recoverable.
Final grade (continuous assessment) = Activity grade A * 0.15 + Activity grade B (≥4) * 0.50 + Activity grade C * 0.3 + Activity grade D * 0.05
b) Scheduling of evaluation activities
The schedule of the evaluation activities will be communicated at the beginning of the course.
c) Recovery process
Students who have not passed the subject will be able to present themselves to the recovery of activity B, provided they have been presented to a set of activities that represent a minimum of two thirds of the total mark for the subject and have a average mark of all the activities of the subject higher than 3.
According to the coordination of the Degree and the management of the School of Engineering, Activity A, C and D are not recoverable.
The recovery note will result from the following expression:
For each assessment activity, there will be a review place, date and time where the student can review the activity with the teacher. In this context, it will be possible to make claims about the grade of the activity, which will be evaluated by the teacher responsible for the subject. If the student does not appear for the review, this activity will not be reviewed later.
e) Qualifications
With honors. Up to 5% MH of the total number of students enrolled can be awarded. It can only be awarded to students with a final grade equal to or greater than 9.5.
A student will be considered non-assessable if he / she has not submitted to any evaluation activity of the subject
f) Irregularities on the part of the student, copying and plagiarism
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, the irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a change in the grade of an act of evaluation will be rated with zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, cheating, letting yourself be copied, etc. in any of the evaluation activities it will involve suspending it with a zero.
g) Evaluation of repeating students
Students who do not enroll for the first time in the course will have the option of taking the assessment activities during the course or the recovery activities at the end of the course.
Regarding activity C and D, the student may keep the grade from the previous year's work or do a new job. The note of this activity will be kept for one year.
The grade of the subject will correspond to the following result:
