2. Pre-Requisites
Not established
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
At one time the nuclear industry was seen as the most likely to be the cause of significant environmental damage, but after the occurrence of several major accidents such as Seveso, Flixborough and Bhopal, that concern extends to much of the chemicals industry. Pressure from society, reflected by strong legislation, coupled with a greater understanding of the impact that chemical processing operations can have, has led to the adoption of higher profile safety and environmental management programs within the chemical industry.
In this subject the students will acquire knowledge and competences related with Risk prevention. A collection of tools and methods which can be utilized to give a quantitative assessment of the risks involved in operating any given process will be introduced in this subject. The aim of this subject is that the authors obtain knowledge, but they are sensitive in a vision of the both active and constructive prevention supported on the connection of the content of the different subjects of the Chemical Engineering Degree.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Theoretical exam | 80.00% | 90.00% | |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 10.00% | 0.00% | |
| Assessment of activities done in the computer labs | 10.00% | 10.00% | |
| 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:Different activities will be carried out during the course for the "Continuous evaluation":
.- Exam (80 %) Two exams will be carried out during the course as a continuous evaluation. The average mark must be 5/10 or higher to pass the subject. To make the average, the minimum mark must be 4 in each exam.
.- It is mandatory present an individual or "in group" work of the practicum carried out during the course (10 %)
.- Resolution of problems or cases proposed during the course is as maximum 10 % of the mark
Those students who do not pass the exams or do not follow the "Continuous Evaluation" have to make an exam about all the contents of the subject. -
Non-continuous evaluation:Evaluation criteria not defined
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
An exam about all the contents of teh subject will be carried out. Furthermore, it is mandatory present an individual or "in group" work of the practicum carried out during the course
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The same as the First Resit/retake exam
