CB1 - That students have demonstrated to possess and understand knowledge in an area of study that starts from the base of general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects involving knowledge from the cutting edge of your field of study
CB2 - That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and possess the competencies that are usually demonstrated through the elaboration and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study
CB3 - That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their study area) to make judgments that include a reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature
CB4 - That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialized and non-specialized audiences
CB5 - That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy
SPECIFIC
CE6 - Be able to analyze and design biotechnological industrial processes and apply them to product improvement.
CE7 - Have knowledge about balances and transfers of matter and energy, applied thermodynamics and separation operations, as well as knowing how to apply them to solving engineering problems.
CE8 - Identify and develop the unit operations of Chemical Engineering integrating them with the biological foundations
- Transversal competences
CT2 - Search, process, analyze and synthesize information from various sources.
CT4 - Interpret experimental results and identify consistent and inconsistent elements.
CT5 - Work as a team.
CT6 - Critically reasoning
- The lectures will be devoted to the presentation of the theoretical contents of the subject and the resolution of problems by the teacher, always with the active participation of the students and with the support of audiovisual tools.
.- The seminars will be held at the end of the presentation of the topics. In them, students individually or in groups, will solve a problem related to the finished topic, which will be delivered and considered for the final evaluation.
.- Carrying out the practicals in the computer room is mandatory. At the end of them, the student will be asked to deliver a simulation problem that will be considered for the final evaluation.
.- There will be two group tutorials, both at the end of the semester. They will be dedicated to solving doubts proposed by the student or presented by the teacher, to carrying out individual or group activities. They may be theoretical in content related to the subject and / or problem solving, which will be delivered.
.- Virtual Campus will be used as a teaching support tool.
.- The student may also make the queries he wishes in individualized tutorials at the time established for this purpose.
In the interactive sessions of the Computer Room (compulsory attendance), problems of matter transfer operations will be solved using Aspen-Hysys and / or SuperproDesigner. The work developed in each session must be delivered in the Virtual Classroom of the matter.

In general, the evaluation system will be the same, regardless of the scenario in which the course is developed (face-to-face or virtual), with the only difference that the evaluation activities will be carried out, as established by the competent authorities, or in person in the classroom or remotely through the telematic means available at USC.
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" shall apply.

The subject 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 case of developing all the course activities in an adapted normal scenario, the activities will be face-to-face. Seminars and
tutorials can be on line.
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 electronically (MS-Teams for synchronous activities and Moodle for asynchronous activities)
