RODRIGUEZ HEREDIA, Dunia  and  BESSY HORRUITINER, Taimi. A new way to impart the integrative seminar of microbiology for Chemical Engineering career. RTQ [online]. 2019, vol.39, n.1, pp. 135-147. ISSN 2224-6185.

The subject Microbiology is taught in the third year of the Chemical engineering degree, its role in the curriculum is justified by the existence of multiple industrial processes in which microorganisms are used. The subject does not have a final exam, so it has several forms of partial evaluation of the process, among which is the integrative seminar. The objective of this paper is to show a new way of delivering the integrative seminar of Microbiology, demonstrating the link that exists between the subject and the Chemical engineering career. This new form consists of analyzing the content of an academic article that links the subject with the career. The seminar guide is presented, with all the aspects that students must develop. An example of analysis of a scientific article is shown, and the advantages of imparting the integrative seminar of this new form are presented, with respect to the classical form. It is concluded that this is a feasible alternative, which can be extended to other subjects of the career.

Keywords : Microbiology; Chemical Engineering; integrative seminar; microorganisms.
