3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The overall objective to be achieved with the proposed program is to know how the execution of a project in the Chemical Industry is developed. For this, the subject has a theoretical part that comments the steps for the execution of a project in its different stages. In the most practical part of the subject, it is intended that the student develop a real project. This subject has a very direct relationship with all the subjects of the degree since it is a compilation of everything that the student has been acquiring in all the previous courses. The subject is an ideal precedent for what the student will find when defending their profession, knowing how a real project of the Chemical Industry is developed and executed.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Final test | 50.00% | 50.00% | There will be a final test in which the theoretical and practical concepts acquired by the student throughout the course will be evaluated. |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 40.00% | 50.00% | Execution of a practical case (Project): during the whole semester, the students, organized by groups, will participate in the design of a real chemical plant whose design specifications will be provided by the teaching team at the beginning of the course. This part will culminate with the delivery of the Process Engineering Book of the designed plant. |
| Other methods of assessment | 10.00% | 0.00% | A final presentation of the case study (Project) will be held where the main results and the resolution methodology of the same will be discussed. Both the exhibition and the work, participation and initiative of the student during the execution of the Project will be valued. |
| 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:The student must participate in a mandatory way in the seminars of the practical case (Project).
The student, to be able to pass, must pass all parts of the assessment system with a grade equal to or greater than 5.
Students who do not participate in the preparation seminars of the project must present the day of the final test, a memory of an industrial chemical plant whose subject and scope must be previously agreed with the subject teacher. -
Non-continuous evaluation:Evaluation criteria not defined
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The evaluation criteria of this call are analogous to those of the ordinary call
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Los criterios de evaluación de esta convocatoria son análogos a los de la convocatoria ordinaria y extraordinaria
