The program of this subject is compatible with the set of sustainable development goals (SDGs) and focuses (study examples, cases, tasks) especially on those that are more within its competence. The objectives SDG9 ((Industry, innovation and infrastructure) and SDG12 (sustainable consumption and production) can be mentioned in particular.

Learning activities: * Master Classes * Exercises classes * Laboratory sessions * Individual and in group student work. Resolution of exercises and questions individually. Realization (optional) of a computer simulation of an operation. Realization of a small project about and chemical process and laboratory practices reports in group. Training activities will include: * Master classes, where will be the knowledge that students need to acquire. To facilitate its development students will receive the notes from class and will have basic texts of reference enabling them to follow classes and develop further work. * Exercises classes. Problem solving by the student which will serve as a self-assessment and to acquire the necessary capabilities. * Laboratory sessions, where the student checks experimentally the concepts and theoretical results seen in class. * Individualized tutorials for the resolution of questions and personalized counselling. * Collective tutorials.
