Chemistry.

By the end of this content area, students will be able to have: 1. Knowledge and understanding of the key aspects and concepts of environmental pollution problem, sustainability and industrial waste treatment. 2. Awareness of the wider multidisciplinary context of engineering. 3. The ability to apply their knowledge and understanding of environmental technologies and sustainability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems using established methods. 4. An understanding of different methodologies, and an ability to use them. 5. The ability to select and use appropriate equipment, tools and methods. 6. An understanding of applicable environmental and sustainability techniques and methods, and of their limitations. 7. An awareness of the non-technical implications of engineering practice. 8. Demonstrate awareness of the health, safety and legal issues and responsibilities of engineering practice, the impact of engineering solutions in a societal and environmental context, and commit to professional ethics, responsibilities and norms of engineering practice.

Students are able to¿ 8 ¿consider academic norms and ways of thinking across different disciplines and subject areas, bringing them into play as appropriate. 11 ¿demonstrate the flexibility and adaptability to collaborate in international and intercultural contexts, learning from others, recognising and respecting diverse perspectives and needs. 12 ¿work independently, meet deadlines, manage their own time and workload and demonstrate initiative. 13 ¿reflect on their own learning, to seek and make use of feedback on their own performance, to recognise when further knowledge is required and to undertake the necessary research.

The program is divided into the following blocks: I. General concepts about environment, sustainability, pollution, and green chemistry. II. Air pollution, its sources, analysis, treatment, transport and dispersion pollutants atmospheric, impact on health. III. Water pollution, sources, analysis and treatment. IV. Waste management and environmental impact assessment.

The teaching methodology will include: 1. 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 complete and deepen the topics in which they are most interested. 2. Problem solving by student who will serve you to evaluate their knowledge and acquire the necessary capabilities. Implementation of the answers to the exercises and correction joint should serve to strengthen skills and develop the capacity to analyze and communicate the relevant information to solve problems. Also the implementation in common will facilitate exchange of views critical to both between teacher and students and among students.
