Learning outcomes |
The objectives of this Course Unit focus on the development by the students of multidisciplinary projects of current interest, with the main focus on the application of laboratory techniques in Chemistry, following the principles of Green Chemistry, and, whenever possible, integrating techniques of other areas such as Physics, Biochemistry (Toxicity), Environment, with a view to the application and production of more sustainable materials.
Students should recognize the techniques they will need to develop projects proposed by the teacher, know how to apply them and adapt them in order to achieve the objectives of each project.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
dents will have theoretical classes where laboratory techniques that they will have to use, to carry out the proposed work and the problems associated with each work to be developed, will be addressed; it is intended that these classes have an active participation of students, through dialogue between the teacher and students.
The works must be developed in laboratory classes and a report must be made for each laboratory work carried out.
The UC Assessment will be carried out by evaluating the written reports referring to the laboratory work carried out and their discussion.
