Unidades Curriculares

Enzymatic Engineering

MEBQ001 - ECTS It is intended that students acquire skills in the engineering area applied to biological processes with enzymes. Thus, it is expected that at the end of the semester, students are able to choose and understand the mechanisms involved in enzyme catalysis and perform techniques for random and directed mutagenesis as well as for protein modification. In this curricular unit it is also expected that students learn the methodologies employed in the production of enzymes in bioreactors and downstream purification.

Advanced Transport Phenomena

MEBQ003 - ECTS

This curricular unit aims to deepen and consolidate the knowledge about the mass, heat and momentum transfer acquired during the undergraduate studies. It is intended that students understand the general equations of conservation, knowing how to apply the various methods for the simplification of these equations, adapting them to different processes and conditions in the industry.
Students must also learn to solve more complex forms of these equations using numerical methods.

Process Modeling and Simulation

MEBQ004 - ECTS Provide skills in the use of computer simulation tools in the design and project of equipment and chemical/biotechnological processes

Emerging Energy Technologies

MEBQ005 - ECTS

Outline the key drivers of the search for alternative energy technologies and the policy and legislative frameworks.

Identify and describe energy scenarios and models.

Outline the main emerging technologies.

Explain advantages and disadvantages of different future energy technologies.

Describe the physical and chemical structures of biomass and their potential use for production of bioenergy, biomaterials and biochemicals.

Identify and describe biomass resources, their occurrence and application in a biorefinery concept.

Outline the principles of a biorefinery including chemical, biological and thermo-chemical conversion methods.

Present the idea of applying hydrogen as an energy carrier.

Describe the mode of operation of a fuel cell as well as the function of the individual components.

Understand and present the differences in function and application of different types of fuel cells.

Biocatalysis and Bioremediation

MEBQ006 - ECTS

It is intended that students acquire in-depth knowledge of biological catalysis, so that in the end of the semester they know examples of biocatalysis in non-conventional media such as organic solvents, supercritical fluids and solid-solid media. It is also important that students understand the strategies and advantages of addressing environmental contamination using microorganisms, by taking into account the concerned pollutants.

Industrial Control

MEBQ007 - ECTS

Students should be able to:

  • Understand the difference between open loop and closed loop (feedback) systems and identify the components of a feedback control system.
  • Analyze the transient response and steady state behavior of linear systems.
  • Understand the concept of stability of control system and methods of stability analysis.
  • Understand basic applications of proportional, integral and derivative feedbacks in control systems and their effects on the system performance and stability.
  • Apply the root locus method, PID tuning rules, Feedforward control, Cascade control, Ratio Control. Internal model control (IMC) and multivariable control methods to analyze and design linear feedback systems.
  • Analyze and design control systems using Matlab/Simulink software.

Process Optimization

MEBQ008 - ECTS In this curricular unit, it is intended that students acquire skills to elaborate representative models of the operation and functioning of processes in the chemical and biotechnology industry, allowing the students to analyze and predict about the mode of operation of such systems. Based on this analysis the students should be able to critically optimize the operation of these processes, using for that purpose an array of tools ranging from simple spreadsheets to specific software.

Polymer Technology

MEBQ011 - ECTS Learning goals: to know and understand the chemistry of polymers and the main industrial methods for the synthesis and production of these materials; to learn how to characterize polymers, not only at physical-chemical level, but also the mechanical and rheological properties of these materials. To learn about polymer processing techniques and the main industrial applications of these materials.

Process Integration

MEBQ013 - ECTS Understand the scope of the design in chemical and biological engineering. Know how to read a process flow diagram and understand its structure. Understand some systematic methods of process design. Know how to use process simulators. Understand the usefulness of process design heuristics. Scheduling of batch processes. Enhance competencies in problem solving integrating previous knowledge.

Project/Intership/Dissertation

MEBQ019 - ECTS The main objective of this curricular unit is to propose a challenge to the student, absolutely new and with a considerable dimension, in the Biotechnology or Chemical Engineering area, which has to be solved based on the knowledge acquired during the course. This challenge may be a real problem from a company (internship) or a research or industrial project (project). At the end of the training, the student must present a thesis, based on the internship/project work, leading to a Master Degree.
