1. General information
The aim is for students to acquire a general vision of chemistry and its importance in our society and to be able to apply the theoretical and practical knowledge of chemistry in the development of their profession as industrial engineers.
These approaches and objectives are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations, so that the acquisition of the learning results of the subject will contribute to some extent to the achievement of Objective 2.4 of Goal 2, 3.9 of Goal 3, 6.3 of Goal 6, 9.4 of Goal 9, and 12.4 and 12.5 of Goal 12.
2. Learning results
- Have a basic knowledge of risk prevention in the laboratory.
- Define the basic principles of general chemistry, organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry.
- Identify the basic laws that regulate reactions: thermodynamics, kinetics and equilibria.
- Solve exercises in a complete and reasoned way.
- Use, in an appropriate way, the theoretical concepts in the laboratory through the correct and safe use of the basic material and equipment.
- Use rigorous language in chemistry.
- Present and interpret data and results.
3. Syllabus
Theoretical and problem-solving sessions: periodic system, chemical bonds and compounds, fundamental laws of chemistry, properties of gases and liquids, chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, inorganic and organic compounds, introduction to electrochemistry, chemical composition of aqueous solutions, study of chemical equilibrium.
Laboratory practices: introduction to the laboratory, gases and preparation of solutions, reaction kinetics, redox reactions, chemical equilibrium, titration of hydrochloric acid.
4. Academic activities
- Master classes: 50 hours
- Practical classes: 10 hours
- Deliverable practice reports: 10 hours
- Study and personal work: 74 hours
- Passing of tests: 6 hours
Lectures, problem classes and practical sessions in the laboratory are given according to the timetable established by the Centre and published prior to the start date of the term.
Tutoring schedules are available on the EINA website. Outside these hours, tutorials can be arranged by contacting faculty via email.
5. Assessment system
During the teaching period, a midterm theoretical-practical written test (consisting of multiple-choice questions , short questions, numerical problems and chemical nomenclature) will be held on a date to be announced at the right time, which will account for 45% of the final grade. The material of the test will correspond to the subjects taught up to the week prior to the date of the test.
A second written theoretical-practical test, with the same structure as the midterm test and which will also account for 45% of the final grade. The test will include the rest of the topics of the subject. This test will take place simultaneously with the global test, on the day of the first call, and the student must choose at that moment if they takes one or the other test.
Performance of laboratory practices, whose continuous evaluation, based on observation, fulfilment of tasks, completion of previous questions and delivery of reports, will represent 10% of the final grade.
There will also be a global test, with the same structure as the previous ones, but comprising the whole of the subject, which will account for 90% of the grade. For students who have not completed the practices in its entirety, it will include a laboratory test, which must be passed in order to pass the subject, and which will account for 10% of the student's grade.
