3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

Subject included in the optional module Environmental Engineering. It addresses the study of the planning, design and operation of engineering techniques for the purification of polluted air currents. Given that any industrial chemical project must comply with environmental regulations and implement preventive or corrective measures of impact, it happens that this type of technology is of current use in any industrial chemical process that generates contaminated gaseous effluents into the atmosphere. Therefore, his knowledge is necessary when carrying out a complete design of a chemical plant. The techniques of elimination of solid particles, SO2, nitrogen oxides, etc. are studied and the design of industrial smokestacks is studied. Subsequently, practical cases are addressed in which the theoretical knowledge is applied to raise global systems of polluted air purification that emit different types of industries.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
Evaluation System Continuous assessment Non-continuous evaluation * Description
Theoretical exam 60.00% 60.00% Test or final exam. Partial progress tests fall within the option of continuous assessment for those students who submit to these tests. They allow to eliminate part of the contents for the final exam.
Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies 25.00% 25.00% The resolution of problems or practical cases is done in person in the classroom. It requires the delivery of problems or cases resolved in writing, and it is valued only if there is assistance to said face-to-face activity.
Those students who did not attend the activity
face-to-face on problem solving or case studies, have the option of being evaluated in the extraordinary final written test.
Assessment of activities done in the computer labs 15.00% 15.00% The realization of activities in a computer classroom is a face-to-face activity. Its assessment implies assistance with use (not mere assistance) which is evaluated on site during the practice.
Those students who do not carry out the classroom activity of computer classroom practices
use, have the option to be evaluated
through practical and oral test on said activity in the extraordinary final call.
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 ordinary assessment consists of a final exam in which the student may have eliminated subject matter (theory and problems) in the partial progress tests. The calculation of the final grade will be made according to the evaluation systems described in the three parts. A final grade equal to or greater than 5.00 is required to pass and a minimum of 4.00 in each part.
  • Non-continuous evaluation:
    Evaluation criteria not defined

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The extraordinary evaluation consists of a final exam that includes all evaluable activities. The calculation of the final grade will be made according to the evaluation systems described in the three parts. A final grade equal to or greater than 5.00 is required to pass and a minimum of 4.00 in each part.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The extraordinary evaluation consists of a final exam that includes all evaluable activities. The calculation of the final grade will be made according to the evaluation systems described in the three parts. A final grade equal to or greater than 5.00 is required to pass and a minimum of 4.00 in each part.
