Type A Code Learning outcomes
 A1.1 Conduct an innovative chemical engineering project similar to one a chemical engineer may be required to conduct in his or her work.
Synthesize and integrate the competences acquired on the Master’s.
 A1.2 Conduct experiments and/or simulations to solve problems related with production plant processes (equipment, process, plant, control, supply chain, energy efficiency, and the environment, etc.).
 A1.3 Apply knowledge of analysis and synthesis for the continuous progress of products, processes, systems and services using criteria of safety, economic viability, quality and environmental management.
 A1.4 Make mathematical models of the viscoelastic response of polymeric materials and correctly interpret the experimental data of storage and loss moduli.
Further understand methods and strategies for designing processes and products (problems with a high degree of abstraction, unstructured problems and open-ended problems).
 A2.1 Apply knowledge of the scientific method and the principles of engineering and economics to formulate and solve complex problems in the chemical industry and related sectors.
 A2.2 Understand the impact of engineering in the social and global context, including the ethical implications of the decisions taken.
Apply concepts of operation and sustainable production.
 A2.3 Understand and apply the basics of business management and its sub-systems.
Acquire a clear vision of how to apply knowledge gained in relation to sustainable business management.
 A3.1 Become familiar with the most common technical equipment used by professionals in the field.
 A3.2 Understand the complex nature of the design of processes and products and its relationship with the other aspects of engineering.
 A3.3 Predict and plan how much time and effort are needed to develop products, processes, systems and services in the chemical industry.
 A3.4 Develop the skill of finding solutions to unfamiliar problems that are only partially defined and have specific competency requirements by considering all possible solution methods (including the most innovative ones) and selecting the best. Be able to correct the solution implemented by evaluating the various designs (I4).
Combine the skills and knowledge pertaining to chemical engineering with direct experience in the development of an original technical project.
 A3.5 Understand the concepts and operating techniques of the industrial sectors, especially those of the chemical industry.
Be able to define a process maintenance procedure.
 A3.6 Understand the environmental impact and risks of decisions taken during the process and product engineering phase.
Understand the impact and risks associated with the supply chain and the analysis of the product life cycle during the product’s design phase.
 A4.1 Apply skills and knowledge pertaining to industrial organisation, commercial strategy, planning and logistics, mercantile and labour legislation, and financial and cost accounting.
 A4.2 Implement knowledge of work organisation and human resources while applying the criteria of industrial safety, quality management, risk prevention, sustainability, and environmental management.
 A4.3 Understand the legislation on intellectual property rights and the management of patents as applied in the chemical industry.
 A4.4 Analyse the competitive situation of a chemical company and take strategic decisions for improving competitiveness.
 A4.5 Apply knowledge of verification procedures, control of installations, processes and products, and certification and auditing.
 A5.1 Conduct, present and, once all curriculum credits have been obtained, defend an original and individually produced piece of work before a university panel. This work will consist of a professional integrated Chemical Engineering project that synthesizes the competences acquired from the courses taken (FP1).
Culminate their acquisition of the competences imparted in a final integrative project.
