Chemical Engineering
ABOUT THE COURSE
Chemical engineering deals with production processes that use physico-chemical modifications of raw materials. Thus, the chemical engineer acts in the production of great variety of products present in our daily life. His work is done in partnership with chemists and professionals with other training to act specifically in laboratory analysis. They are, therefore, different activities.
As many products undergo transformations under the action of temperature and pressure variations, their performance has a great affinity with the use of thermal processes. Even the simple preparation of a coffee is an example of extraction, which is amplified in large volumes in a soluble coffee company.
The chemical engineer works in the preparation of fertilizers, paints, petroleum distillation, production of fuels and lubricants, products of the sugar and ethanol industry, cellulose, pharmaceuticals, and a multitude of processes. Its main commitment is with the sustainability of the processes, both in environmental terms and in the safety of the people who work there. The chemical engineer is also responsible for the treatment of the water that reaches the houses and the disposal of the sewers in a way that does not harm the environment.
For the beginners, day-to-day situations of the industries are progressively presented and discussed, in order to consolidate the fundamental knowledge through the practical vision of the applied procedures.

INFORMATION
OTHER INFORMATION
At UNISANTA, chemical engineering is treated with a special care, to adapt the student in the conceptual part.
The strategy is to lead students to develop their activities in the laboratories, where more than 50 experimental modules, developed there, treat in a visual and dimensional way the phenomena that must be quantified in the experiments carried out by the academics. Many samples of these modules are purchased by public and private institutions in the country.
The result of this methodology is to improve the knowledge and skills of the guidelines for this training, encouraging the continuity of the studies in the masters and doctoral programs, for the conviviality and participation of dozens of dissertations that are produced there.

COURSE FIELD
The Chemical Engineer works mainly in the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and food industry processes. Some examples: paper mill, paint, aluminum, plastic, cement, glass, fertilizer, condensed milk, milk powder, antibiotic, perfumes, oil refineries for cooking gas, diesel and gasoline; Sugar and alcohol mills; Domestic and industrial effluent stations. Chemical Engineering can be defined as the field of activities that covers the creation, development, design, implementation, operation and control of processes and equipment for transforming raw materials into products.

EVALUATION CRITERIA
The evaluations of the students are based on the skills and abilities necessary for the professional exercise, being defined in the Pedagogical Project of each Course of Graduation or Technology, following the Curricular Guidelines and the General Regiment of UNISANTA.
The evaluation of the school performance is done by discipline, according to the curricular activities developed, covering the aspects of frequency and grade.
It is considered approved in each discipline the student who has attended at least 75% of the academic work expected and obtained arithmetic mean equal to or greater than 5 (five) between the grade resulting from the partial evaluations and the final exam.
The final evaluation is granted only to the student who obtains, in each discipline, arithmetic mean equal to or greater than 3 (three), resulting from the partial evaluations.
The student who, in the course under study, has met the minimum frequency requirement and obtained an average of 7 (seven) or higher as a result of the partial assessments is waived from the final exam.
