Specific competences::
CQ1.3: Knowledge on mass transfer and separation operations. Design of separation units. Mechanical and engineering design.
General competences:
CG.3 Knowledge of basic and technological subjects that enables them to learn new methods and theories, and gives them the versatility to adapt to new situations. Teamwork.
CG.4 Ability to solve problems developing creativity, decision-making capacity, communication of results.
Transversal competences:
CT.1 Capacity for analysis and synthesis.
CT.4 Ability to use computer tools and applications.
CT.6 Troubleshooting
CT.13 Ability to apply knowledge in practice.
Lectures will be given including solving practical problems and case studies. The use of computer tools will be promoted. In general, the common methodological aspects will be available in this discipline.
The seminars will be held at the end of the presentation of the topics. In them, in addition to the resolution of a problem by the teacher, the students individually or in groups, will solve a problem related to the finished topic, which will be delivered and considered for final evaluation. Students will also carry out specific assignments or activities. In these activities, there will be a review of recent classes forcing students to keep up to date on the contents of the subject, which will facilitate the preparation of the final exam. The Excel spreadsheet will be used in the required problems. Design programs such as Hysis may also be used.
The tutorials will involve two directions. The first will correspond to the classical tutorials (doubts about theory and problems) and the second will include tutoring the work that the students will do individually or in groups.

The Virtual Campus will be used as a teaching support tool.
Teaching will be taught in Spanish
In the case of developing the course in an adapted normal scenario (scenario 1), the activities will be face-to-face. Tutorials can also be done electronically.
It will be carried out through a final exam of the subject that will be developed in two parts.
The first will be an exam on theoretical questions (30% of the exam grade) and a problem exam (70% of the total exam grade).
Students will be able to carry out specific assignments, attendance and participation in class and seminars that could account for up to 35% of the overall mark. Likewise, the tutorials will be subject to a grade representing about 5% of the overall grade. Summarizing these data it would be
Rating distribution
a) Exam (60%) [Theory (30%) Problems (70%)]
A minimum score of 35% is required in each of the parts to pass the exam
b) Attendance and Participation in class 10%
c) Seminars (problems) 10% and Works 15%
d) Tutorials 5%
The student must obtain a minimum grade of 3.5 out of 10 in each of the parts (b, c and d)
The marks of sections b), c) and d) will be communicated to the student before the final exam.
The marks in sections b), c) and d) will be kept for the second opportunity, in which the exam will be 60% of the overall mark.
The student must obtain a minimum grade of 3.5 out of 10 in each of the assessable parts
By competencies
Exam: CQ1.3, CQ1.1, CG3, CG4, CT1, CT 6, CT13
Work / Activities: CQ1.3, CG3, CG4, CT1, CT4, CT6, CT13

Tutorials: CT1, CT6, CG4, CQ 1.3
Students who have not participated in the completion of the work, or in the seminars or attending the classes or the group tutorials or the exam may obtain the grade of Not Presented.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Regulations for the validation of academic performance for two students and for the review of qualifications will apply.
4.5 ECTS (114h)
It is estimated at a maximum of an hour and a half for each hour of regulated class. That is, over a total of contact hours (including tutorials and exams) that corresponds to a global equivalent equivalent of 4.5 ECTS (it would be 45 contact hours and 69 hours of student work).
A subject e of 4.5 ECTS (total 114h)

It is recommended to have previously taken Mass Transfer and Applied Thermodynamics.
It is recommended to keep actualized the general concepts following daily the course.
Classes will be taught in Spanish
The Virtual Classroom (on the USC web platform) will be used as a repository for the documentation on the subject.
In the case of telematic teaching, it will be necessary to have a computer with a microphone and camera to carry out the telematic activities scheduled throughout the course.
Contingency plan
METHODOLOGY
Contingency plan for remote teaching activities (Scenarios 2-distancing or Scenario 3-confinement):
The lecture classes on stage 2, as well as the lecture and interactive classes on stage 3, will be held synchronously and always according to the schedule established by the center, through the different telematic means available at the USC. The individualized tutorials will be carried out through the subject's Virtual Classroom forum (Moodle-Virtual Campus), MS-Teams video call or by email in scenarios 2 and 3.
EVALUATION SYSTEM
The evaluation system will be the same, regardless of the setting, with the only difference that the evaluation activities will be carried out, as established by the competent authorities, either in person in the classroom or remotely through the telematic means available at the USC.
In the event that a distancing scenario is applied (scenario 2), the lectures and group tutorials will be carried out electronically and synchronously through the MS-Teams tool. In the event that the teaching facilities are closed (scenario 3), all activities will be carried out telematically (MS-Teams for synchronous activities and Moodle for asynchronous activities).
