CB09 To be able to communicate their findings, and the ultimate knowledge and reasons behind them, to specialist and non-specialist audiences in a clear and unambiguous manner
CB10 To possess the learning skills to continue studying in a largely self-directed or autonomous manner.
E01 To apply knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and other natural sciences, obtained through study, experience, and practice, with critical reasoning to establish economically viable solutions to technical problems.
E02 To design products, processes, systems and services of the chemical industry, as well as the optimization of others already developed, taking as technological base the diverse areas of the chemical engineering, comprehensive of processes and transport phenomena, separation processes and engineering of the chemical, nuclear, electrochemical and biochemical reactions.
E03 To conceptualize engineering models, apply innovative methods in problem solving and appropriate software applications, for the design, simulation, optimization and control of processes and systems.
E04 To have the ability to solve problems that are unknown, incompletely defined, and have competing specifications, considering the possible solution methods, including the most innovative ones, selecting the most appropriate one, and being able to correct the implementation, evaluating the different design solutions.
E10 To adapt to structural changes in society caused by factors or phenomena of an economic, energy or natural nature, in order to solve the resulting problems and provide technological solutions with a high commitment to sustainability.
G01 To have adequate knowledge to apply the scientific method and the principles of engineering and economics, to formulate and solve complex problems in processes, equipment, facilities and services, in which matter undergoes changes in its composition, state or energy content, characteristic of the chemical industry and other related sectors including the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, materials, energy, food or environmental sectors.
G02 To conceive, project, calculate and design processes, equipment, industrial facilities and services, in the field of chemical engineering and related industrial sectors, in terms of quality, safety, economy, rational and efficient use of natural resources and environmental conservation.
G03 To direct and manage technically and economically projects, installations, plants, companies and technology centres in the field of chemical engineering and related industrial sectors.
G05 To know how to establish mathematical models and develop them by means of appropriate computing, as a scientific and technological basis for the design of new products, processes, systems and services, and for the optimization of others already developed.
G06 To have the capacity of analysis and synthesis for the continuous progress of products, processes, systems and services using criteria of safety, economic viability, quality and environmental management.
G07 To integrate knowledge and deal with the complexity of making judgments and decisions, based on incomplete or limited information, including reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities of professional practice
G10 To adapt to changes, being able to apply new and advanced technologies and other relevant developments, with initiative and entrepreneurial spirit
G11 To possess the skills of autonomous learning in order to maintain and improve the competences of chemical engineering that allow the continuous development of the profession
MC1 To have acquired advanced knowledge and demonstrated an understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects and of the working methodology in the field of Chemical Engineering with a depth that reaches the forefront of knowledge
MC2 To be able, through arguments or procedures developed and supported by themselves, to apply their knowledge, understanding and problem-solving skills in complex or professional and specialized work environments that require the use of creative or innovative ideas
MC3 To have the ability to collect and interpret data and information on which to base their conclusions including, where necessary and relevant, reflection on social, scientific or ethical issues in the field of chemical engineering
MC4 To be able to deal with complex situations or those that require the development of new solutions in the academic, work or professional field of study of Chemical Engineering
MC5 To know how to communicate to all types of audiences (specialized or not) in a clear and precise way, knowledge, methodologies, ideas, problems and solutions in the field of the study of Chemical Engineering
MC6 To be able to identify their own training needs in the field of study of Chemical Engineering and work or professional environment and to organize their own learning with a high degree of autonomy in all kinds of contexts (structured or unstructured).
