2. Pre-Requisites
It is recommended that the student has done courses fundamentals of chemistry, organic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry allowing to know the nomenclature of inorganic and organic compounds , according to IUPAC rules, as well as quantities and units physico-chemical
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
Chemical engineering degree student must acquire the conceptual and technical tools that enable you to exercise in the field of science and engineering of materials. It's a subject common to the industrial branch, so it is taught in the third year of the degree, in the first half, and on the other hand is a compulsory subject since since the beginning of civilization, along with the energy materials are used to improve the niv of life of mankind. All of the products that surround us are made based on materials, each time with better properties. This course will study the types of materials used in chemical engineering, expressing the current competition between materials and the future trends in their use.
