Portuguese - Suitable for English-speaking students

Objetivos

It is intended that students acquire skills in the area 
of ​​industrial electrochemistry related to the production
of various chemical products and treatment of waste waters 
and hazardous effluents, using various electrochemical 
tools and techniques. It is also intended that students 
develop knowledge that allows updating and progress in the 
application areas of ​​industrial electrochemistry.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

This CU comprises a theoretical and a theoretical-practical
component. The theoretical component is taught in 
expository mode, through presentations with computer 
support of applications such as PowerPoint or another. 
The theoretical-practical component is achieved through 
the resolution of theoretical-conceptual, numerical and 
application exercises. In addition, students will develop 
a research and development mini-project on a topic related 
to industrial electrolysis.



During the frequency period, the evaluation of the UC will 
assume a quasi continuous nature, comprising the completion 
of 2 written tests with a total weight of 60% in the final 
evaluation and a mini-project of research and development, 
with a global weight of 30% in the final evaluation. 
The remaining 10% will be allocated to small assignments 
(exercises) done outside the classroom.



In any exam period, the assessment comprises a written test 
with a weight of 60% in the final assessment, with the 
additional 40% coming from the practical part of the 
frequency period, or with a weight of 100%.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

Evaluation at the end of the school term:

CF = 30% T1 + 30% T2 + 30% TP + 10% TC



T1, T2: written tests on parts of the taught content;

TP: Research and development work, with presentation and 
discussion with the professor and colleagues

TC: work done outside the classroom.





Exam (all seasons):

CF = 60% E+ 30% TP + 10% TC or 100% E



E: exam score



Pass is achieved with CF > 9.5.

The required minimum score in any of the evaluation 
elements.
