2. Pre-Requisites
Those established in general for the Degree
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
This subject is taught in the fourth year of the Degree and consists of a single subject that will be taught in the second semester. The student who has access to this subject has a great background in Chemical and Environmental Engineering and only needs to make their knowledge more practical. In this sense, the objective with which it is proposed is to provide the chemical engineer in training with the necessary knowledge to assess the environmental problems of solid waste and contaminated soils, addressing aspects of: Regulations and applicable legislation; Collection systems, transfer and transport of solid waste; Technologies for the treatment of solid waste and contaminated soil; Basic dimensioning of waste treatment systems and contaminated soils

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:To pass the subject in each of the sections will require a minimum of 4.0 / 10 and the average must be equal to or greater than 5.0 / 10.
-
Non-continuous evaluation:It will be considered that the student follows non-continuous evaluation if he/she has not delivered at least 80% of the proposed problems/cases of study. The final test will allow the evaluation of 100% of the competences.
The pass the final test a minimum grade of 5 out of 10 must be attained.
