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.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Assessment of active participation | 10.00% | 0.00% | Class participation will be positively valued |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 20.00% | 0.00% | The evaluation seminars carried out in class will be positively valued. |
| Final test | 70.00% | 100.00% | |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:It will be calculated based on the following: 70% theoretical exam plus (10+20)% evaluable continuous evaluation tests.
The final grade will be obtained considering the distribution of credits of the areas that teach the subject, i.e. 25% polymeric materials and 75% of the rest of the subjects. -
Non-continuous evaluation:The student who does not follow the continuous evaluation must communicate it to the teaching staff at the beginning of the course, that is to say, in the first days of the course and in writing.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The criteria indicated in the continuous or non-continuous evaluation will be applied depending on the student's choice at the beginning of the course.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
In the special call for the end of the course, the student will have to take the exam of the whole course, regardless of having passed any of the continuous evaluation tests.
