CB6: Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and / or application of ideas, often in a research context.
CB7: That the students know how to apply the acquired knowledge and the ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of ¿¿study.
CB8: That students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of making judgments based on information that, being incomplete or limited, reflections on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments.
CB10: That students raise learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that has become largely self-directed or autonomous.
CG2: Project, calculate and design products, processes, facilities and plants.
CG3: Direct, plan and send multidisciplinary teams.
CG4: Carry out research, development and innovation in products, processes and methods.
CMT5: Knowledge and skills for the design and analysis of machines and thermal engines, hydraulic machines and industrial heat and cold installations.
CMT6: Knowledge and skills that allow to understand, analyze, exploit and manage the different sources of energy
RA1: Pose and solve complex heat transfer systems and apply to the calculation and design of heat exchangers.
RA2: Acquire knowledge in matters related to thermotechnology, which will enable him to learn new methods and theories, and give him versatility to adapt to new situations.
