Objectives

To enable students to acquire complementary skills and knowledge about thermodynamics and its application to understand the general circulation of the atmosphere and oceans. Know how to describe the main concepts related to Energy Resources. Know the main sources of energy generation (Renewable and Non-Renewable). Interpret the main laws, agendas, focused on the context in question. Know the main equipment used in the energy generation processes. Identify environmental impacts caused by the Energy Sector. Knowledge about the climate system and the Greenhouse Effect. The causes and consequences of climate change; its interconnection with the United Nations 2030 agenda, the European Union's Green Deal and the Sustainable Development Goals. Identify the application of the discipline in the practical field of performance of the Environmental Engineer.

Teaching methodologies and assessment

Expository / interrogative method; development of works and challenges using bibliographic research. Proposition and problem solving emphasizing the contents worked, using the analysis of case studies, favoring the development of individual / group works of practical implementation for application and amplification of acquired knowledge, reflection and discussion.

 Continuous assessment foresees the attendance of students to a minimum of 70% of classes, work sheets and / or group work, with written and oral presentation, favoring knowledge sharing and debate between peers. The partial work developed during the semester will have a weight of 60% and the final work 40%. The written exam will be aimed at students who do not pass or intend to improve their grade. For approval, grades must be at least 10 (9.5).
