Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course of Cooling and drying aims to provide required basis for :
- the understanding of mechanism involved in dehydration, sorption and coolingn pnenomena in biological material,
- for the control of processes that use these phenomena in order to increase the conservability or to provide new functional properties to these bio-materials
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
This course aims to introduce student to :
- phenomena involved in dehydration and drying of hygroscopic materials
- mechanisms and components involved in the production and remediation of cooled and dried fluid such as humid and dry air
- mechanism of cooling, sorption and drying of biological materials
It also aims to develop :
- students' skills inmonitoring of drying, sorptional and cooling processes of biological materials
- analytical skill's of drying, sorptional and cooling technics carried out for biological material preservation and for the development of their transformation.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Bachelor level course on thermodynamics, mathematics and physics.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Lecture classes: 18 hours Problem solving: 6 hours
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Depending on the evolution of the health situation related to the coronavirus pandemic (possible worsening), the course will be made by Podcast.
Online question and answer sessions will also be organised to help students understand the following
Concerning the exam, the evaluation will be a written exam in the classroom, except in case of total lock down (red code). In this case, an oral evaluation will take place remotely.

Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Any session :
- In-person
written exam ( open-ended questions )
- Remote
written exam ( open-ended questions )
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred in-person
