Joint curricular itinerary for the double degree

  1. Description. A curricular itinerary is proposed to jointly study the Master's Degrees in Industrial Engineering and Chemical Engineering, based on the complementarity between both degrees.
  2. Purpose. The completion of the itinerary leads to obtaining the two degrees that compose it.
  3. The programming teacher has the following characteristics:
    1. All the mandatory subjects (37.5 credits) of the Master in Chemical Engineering (MIQ) will be taken, except Quality Management (4.5) and Work Organization (3), which will be taken as part of their respective mandatory subjects of the Master of Engineering. Industrial (MII), Quality Management (5) and Work Organization and Occupational Safety and Health (5).
    2. The optional module (30 ECTS) of the MIQ will be taken through compulsory subjects offered at the MII and optional subjects of the MIQ itself. This possibility appears as an option in the report of the Master in Chemical Engineering. The specific list of subjects to be taken is as follows:
      1. Automation and Control of Production Systems (MII, 5 ECTS)
      2. Internships in companies (MIQ, 15 ECTS)
      3. Hydraulic and thermal installations and machines (MII, 5 ECTS)
      4. Energy technology (MIQ, 4.5 ECTS)
      5. Refining and Petrochemicals (MIQ, 4.5 ECTS)
    3. The subject of Energy Technology (4.5 ECTS) is optional in the MIQ and is taken as part of the mandatory course of the MII, Energy Technology II (5 ECTS).
    4. All compulsory subjects from the MII will be taken except:
      1. “Entrepreneurship”, of 3 credits, which is common to both master's degrees, so only the one corresponding to the Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering will be taken.
      2. “Analysis and Design of Chemical Processes”, of 5 credits, which is replaced by its equivalent of the MIQ “Engineering and Supervision of chemical plants” of 6 credits.
    5. The optional module (30 ECTS) of the MII will be taken through compulsory and optional subjects offered at the MIQ. This possibility appears as an option in the report of the Master in Chemical Engineering. The specific list of subjects to be taken is as follows:
      1. Environmental Management in Industry (4.5 ECTS)
      2. Advanced simulation of chemical processes (6 ECTS)
      3. Reactor engineering (4.5 ECTS)
      4. Advanced Separation Processes (4.5 ECTS)
      5. Integrated Design of Processes and Products (6 ECTS)
      6. Operation and Control of Chemical Plants (3 ECTS)
      7. Refining and Petrochemicals (4.5 ECTS)
    6. Additionally, it is necessary to take into account that the Master in Industrial Engineering includes a Leveling Block, composed of subjects intended for all students of the Industrial Engineering program (composed of a Degree in Industrial Technology Engineering plus the Master in Industrial Engineering) acquire the same skills, regardless of the degree with which they access the Master's Degree. These subjects, which are within the MII optional module, are the following:
      1. Rational Mechanics Complements
      2. Numerical methods
      3. Heat Transmission Complements
      4. Manufacturing Technology Complements
      5. Electrical Technology Accessories
      6. Mathematics applied to engineering
      In the case of the double master's degree, the leveling credits of the master's degree in industrial engineering will be considered as training and therefore, they will not subtract elective credits in said master's degree.
    7. It will be the Academic Committees of both master's degrees that evaluate and determine which complementary training subjects must be taken, in addition to the mandatory and optional credits of both master's degrees.
    8. The completion of two master's final projects is contemplated for the Double Master, one for each degree (12 + 15 ECTS).
    As a summary, the following table shows schematically the list of subjects to be taken corresponding to each Master's Degree (MII in the left column and MIQ in the right column). The optional blocks of each Master's degree are taken with the subjects shown in the column of the other Master's degree. In the case of subjects with identical or similar names, which appear in a single row, only one of them will be taken, the one indicated in bold.

  4. Number of credits in the itinerary. The total number of credits for the double Master's degree is 153.5 credits, without training supplements. There are certain subjects that can be recognized depending on the subjects that each student has taken in their degree of origin.
  5. Access. As access requirements, it will be required to meet both the access requirements to the MII and those corresponding to the MIQ, with the joint Academic Commission having the powers over the assessment of candidates and the establishment of training complements and leveling subjects, to which the reports refer. check. The leveling subjects of the MII will be considered training complements for the double Master's degree, that is, while in the MII they are within the 120 credits of the degree, in the double master's degree they will be taken in addition to the 153.5 credits thereof. In particular, preferential access to this Double Master's Degree (high preference) will be for students with a Degree in Chemical Engineering, as well as students with a Degree in Industrial Technology Engineering, Chemical-Environmental or Energy Intensification.
  6. Offer of places. In principle, they intend to offer 5 places for this double itinerary, a number that may be modified in subsequent courses depending on demand.
  7. Teaching organization.
    1. Groups. There will not be a separate group for this double degree. The subjects of the Master's Degree in Industrial Engineering will be taken jointly with students who follow the studies of this degree as a simple Master's degree. Likewise, the subjects of the Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering will be taught jointly to all students taking this degree. The schedule of these Master's Degrees will be defined so that there are no schedule incompatibilities in the double degree.
    2. Academic bodies. Each degree will be managed by its corresponding Academic Commission, which in relation to admission to studies and the specification of training complements for each student, will act jointly.
