Although there are no academic restrictions from the point of view of enrollment in the subject, teachers recommend to properly study the subject to have acquired knowledge about:

-use of the EXCEL tool

-solving of differential equations.

-operation of basic operations and reactors.

The analysis of the different problematic situations that can occur in the professional life of a chemical engineer (selection of a wastewater treatment process, an operational problem in a column, etc.), the approach of possible alternatives to solve these situations, and the selection of the best alternative are skills that a chemical engineer must acquire as soon as possible if he wants to succeed in his profession.

Likewise, the chemical engineer must combine this knowledge and skills with those necessary to provide the product manufactured in the process with the appropriate characteristics. These are the main objectives pursued in the subject

Relationship with other subjects of the Degree in Chemical Engineering:

General comments about the planning:

The assignment of hours to specific topics is not an element that the teacher considers relevant in the programming of the course, since some of the training activities correspond to several topics simultaneously. In the corresponding course planning guide, agreed in the title commission, all the dates of classes and seminars are collected, although they can be slightly modified according to situations that make it necessary.
