Teaching method
This course is composed by a theoretical part, composed by one-hour units, and a practical part. In the practical part, computer software is used for bioprocess simulation, design and cost analysis. A project is developed in this course and discussed at the end of the semester.
Evaluation method
Avaliação contínua:
1) Trabalho de grupo com entrega de relatório: TG
2) Elaboração dum Seminário: ES
3) Teste - 30%
Nota final = 20% TG + 30% Teste + 50% ES
Nota final mínima para aproveitamento à unidade curricular é 9,5
Nota mínima de cada elemento de avaliação é 9,5 para aproveitamento à unidadre curricular
Os estudantes têm frequencia à UC pela realização do TG e ES
Estão planeadas 3 visitas de estudo a Industrias na região de Lisboa
Haverá duas aulas práticas uma delas numa instalação piloto no DQ
Avaliação por exame:
1) Trabalho de grupo com entrega de relatório: TG
2) Elaboração dum Seminário: ES
3) Exame final - 30%
Nota final = 20% TG + 30% Exame final + 50% ES
Nota final mínima para aproveitamento à unidade curricular é 9,5
Nota mínima de cada elemento de avaliação é 9,5 para aproveitamento à unidadre curricular
