Objectives

The main objectives of this course are the acquisition of technical knowledge of fundamental sciences and the development of comprehensive capabilities, not necessarily related to engineering sciences. It is intended to create bases for development and application in a wide context. It is further intended to develop scientific and critical opinion. It is intended that the student acquires the following skills: - structural analysis of organic compounds’; - recognize the diversity of behaviors (reactions) by the different classes of organic compounds; - identification of the different reactions involving organic compounds with industrial application; - development of strategies for synthesize complex organic compounds starting from simple ones; - recognize the main properties of macro-molecules.

Learning outcomes and competences

It is intended that the student acquire the following skills:

- Structure determination of organic compounds;

- The different behaviors (type of reaction) evidenced by the various classes of organic compounds;

- The relationship and identification of such reactions in organic compounds with practical (industrial);

- The development of strategies for the synthesis of complex organic compounds starting from simpler compounds.

Teaching methods and learning activities

General theoretical-practical lectures (TPG) Presentations will be supported by audiovisual media, and illustrated with the solution of problems related with practical examples. Special attention will be given to the application of knowledge in quotidian life issues, with interfaces with Chemical Engineering. Students will be strongly encouraged to participate during the classes. Presences will be registered. Theoretical-practical lectures for classes (TPT) Besides the problems solved in TPG, the handouts will include proposals for problems to be solved in TPT, and other problems to be solved out of the classes, to facilitate learning and to consolidate knowledge. Special attention will be given to the critical analysis of results and to the search of data in tables delivered to the students.

Eligibility for exams

Exam eligibility is obtained by not surpassing the maximum number of absences allowed and has a minimum grade of 10 (in 20) in lab classes. Grading will be based on successful execution of the lab works, correction of the lab notebooks and reports and a written test. The lab grade will be valid for two academic years. There are no alternative criteria for passing (cf. Art.4, n. 3 d das NGA).

Calculation formula of final grade

The final grade (CF) is calculated by the following formula:
CF = 0,75xCT + 0,25xCP Where CT =0,25xCT1+ 0,35xCT2 + 0,4xCT3,
being CT1 the grade of the 1st test and CT2 the grade of the 2nd test, CT3 grade of the third and CP the pratical component (lab classes). Course is considered to be passes with a theoretical grade (CT) higher or equal to 10 and a minimum grade for the pratical component (CP) values ≥ 10 and 7 points in the classification of tests / examination (CT / Exam).

Examinations or Special Assignments

Not applicable.

Internship work/project

Not applicable.

 

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Not applicable.

Classification improvement

Improvement of the final grade will be done during the “época de recurso” and is only done to the theoretical part with a weight of 75%.
