5.1. Methodological overview
THEORY LESSONS
The theoretical academic sessions will be used to allow students to learn through exposure professor concepts and methodologies of work needed to start developing your self-employment. These sessions will be conducted mostly with the support of computer presentations and projected; previously will be provided to the student.
PROBLEM SOLVING:
The student will be given a series of problem sets that will solve or try to solve, then the interactive sessions will address the doubts and resolutions thereof.
WORKS:
In the classroom will be In the classroom will be proposed during the course 3 or 4 works, which the students have to solve. subsequent to the delivery, they made the defense of the same.
LABORATORY PRACTICE:
The professor made an explanation of the theoretical framework necessary for understanding the theory of practice to develop.
Explanation of equipment and instruments
Students operate the equipment, take data order that they can develop the practice report.
The completion of the practices is obligatory.
5.2. Learning tasks
The achievement of a student's basic training is based on theoretical type classes (30 hours) and problems type classes (20 hours), but active participation of students will be encouraged.
Group work/activities (20 hours) are required; they allow the acquisition of general and specific competence.
Individual tutoring will be conducted to clarify particular problems of each student and mandatory tutoring to work with reduced groups specific topics.
Also, the practice program (10 hours) allows to transpose theoretical knowledge to practical application and development of scientific and technical documents.
Tools will be used to support teaching and problem solving .
The Virtual Campus of UniZar will also be used as support.

Practical 5: Visit to a food processing industry to discover its auxiliary installations “in situ” and to control its processes.
5.4. Course planning and calendar
Study time and individual work
Assistance to the presential sessions is mandatory in works/activities and laboratory practice.
The students must take up the subject (4-5 hours per week) to understand and carry out further issues and problems that arise in class.
Overall it is estimated that students must use a total of 90 hours of personal work to complete a total of 150 hours devoted to the subject.
