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% | Continuous assessment option: Partial tests. Non-continuous assessment option: Single final test or exam. In both cases, the acquisition of competences and learning results of the training activity are evaluated (Theory and Problems) |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 25.00% | 25.00% | Continuous evaluation option: The resolution of problems or practical cases is mandatory and attendance with use is required. The delivery of problems or cases solved in writing, worked on in class, is evaluated. Single final assessment option: Those students who do not opt for continuous assessment have the option of being assessed in the single final option by means of an ordinary written final test. In this test the student is asked questions about the resolution of a practical case. |
| Assessment of activities done in the computer labs | 15.00% | 15.00% | Continuous assessment option: The activity in the computer room is mandatory and attendance is required with good use. The delivery of cases resolved in writing, worked on in class, is evaluated. Single final assessment option: Those students who do not opt for continuous assessment have the option of being assessed in the single final option by means of an ordinary written final test. |
| 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:Each of the evaluable parts will be evaluated and the final grade will be calculated according to the evaluation percentages described above. A final grade equal to or greater than 5.00 is required to pass and a minimum of 4.00 in each of the three parts.
-
Non-continuous evaluation:Each of the evaluable parts will be evaluated and the final grade will be calculated according to the evaluation percentages described above. A final grade equal to or greater than 5.00 is required to pass and a minimum of 4.00 in each of the three parts.
