Courses detail

Have and understand knowledge that can provide a base or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context
Students should know to apply their acquired knowledge and their ability in problem-solving in new or little-known environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study
Students should be capable of integrating knowledge and facing up to the complexity of showing judgment from incomplete or limited information that includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities which are linked to the application of their knowledge and judgment
Students should know how to communicate their conclusions - and the knowledge and reasons sustaining them - to a specialised and non-specialised audience in a clear and unambiguous way
Students should have the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or independent

Carry out the appropriate research, undertake the design and direct the development of engineering solutions in new or little known environments, relating creativity, originality, innovation and technology transfer
Know how to set up mathematical models and develop them by means of appropriate information technology as a scientific and technogical basis for the design of new products, processes, systems and services and for the optimization of others that have already been developed
Have the ability to analyse and synthesise continuous advances in products, processes, systems and services using safety, economic viability, quality and environmental management criteria
Integrate knowledge, deal with complexity and make judgments based on incomplete or limited information, including reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities of professional practice
Lead and define multidisciplinary teams capable of dealing with technical changes and management needs in national and international contexts
Conceive, project, calculate and design processes, teams, industrial installations and services within the field of chemical engineering and related industrial sectors in terms of quality, safety, economy, a rational and efficient use of natural resources and preservation of the environment
Direct and manage in a technical and economical manner projects, installations, plants, businesses and technological centres in the field of chemical engineering and related industrial sectors
Ability to apply the scientific method and the principles of engineering and economy, in order to formulate and solve complex problems in processes, teams, installations and services in which material undergoes changes in its composition, state or energetic content that are characteristic of the chemical industry and other related sectors, including pharmacy, biotechnology, materials, energy, food and environment
Communicate and discuss proposals and conclusions in both specialised and non-specialised multilingual forums, in a clear and unambiguous manner
Adapt to changes, being able to apply new and advanced technologies as well as other relevant advances with initiative and an entreprenerial sprit
Have the ability of self-learning so as to maintain and improve one's own competence in chemical engineering, thereby allowing a continuous development in the profession

Acquire advanced knowledge and show, within a context of scientific and technological or highly specialised technology, a detailed and grounded understanding of theoretical and practical aspects and of work methodology in one's field of study, to a degree that encompasses the cutting edge of knowledge
Know how to apply and integrate knowledge, understanding and scientific fundamentals of said knowledge and be able to solve problems in new and imprecisely defined environments, including multidisciplinary contexts pertaining to both researchers and highly specialised professionals
Have the ability to compile and interpret data, know how to assess and select the appropriate scientific theory and the precise methodology within one's field of study in order to make judgments based on incomplete or limited information including, when necessary, a reflection on social or ethical responsibility in the area of one's field of study
Be able to cope with complex situations by means of the development of new and innovative work methodologies adapted to the concrete scientific/research, technological or professional area, by nature generally multidisciplinary, in which one's activity is developed
Know how to transmit clearly and unambiguously, to a specialised or non-specialised audience, the results that come from scientific and technological research or from the most advanced innovation, as well as the most relevant fundamentals on which they are based
Develop sufficient autonomy to participate in research and scientific or technological collaborations within one's thematic area, in interdisciplinary contexts and, where appropriate with a high level of knowledge transfer, assuming responsibility for one's own professional development

Carry out the appropriate research, undertake the design and direct the development of engineering solutions in new or little known environments, relating creativity, originality, innovation and technology transfer
