Social responsibility as a transversal competence of graduates
Pérez González, Juan Jesús
Paper purpose:
The aim of the present communication is to propose a procedure to assess the level of competence achieved by graduates.
Design/methodology/theoretical approach:
We propose to use a quality assurance procedure to assess and improve the level of competence achieved by graduates.
Findings:
Graduate students should exhibit hard competences -specific knowledge-in their field of study and, also soft or transversal competences that provide complementary abilities to use the former in any specific environment. Social responsibility is among the list of transversal competences. We found that transversal competences are difficult to assess. The method we propose provides a clear idea of the level of competence acquired.
Practical implications:
Social responsibility provides graduates a guidance to develop their activities as professionals within a framework of sustainable development, in such a way that projects include considerations concerning environmental, social and economic dimensions.

For the past five years, Engineering students from Barcelona School of Civil Engineer in UPC BarcelonaTech have shown that educational intervention in first-year engineering programs can positively affect students’ awareness of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) concepts by introducing students to basics concepts and motivating them to follow next ones. At Terrassa School of Industrial, Aerospace and Audiovisual Engineering, also belonging to UPC BarcelonaTech, STEM concepts are strengthen to high school students by means of the Mercat de Tecnologia, (a science fair among schools) and by some recommended but not compulsory propaedeutic courses of basic subjects, carried out the week prior to the official start of university studies. Still, many students entering university show
some lacks on theoretical items, particularly those who do not follow the usual way to access to tertiary studies after obligatory secondary education but a parallel and more practical one. In fact, there is a large heterogeneity in terms of the average previous knowledge of every subject as well as in the individual curriculum of each student, since they might have enrolled different courses before entering the university. Due to those lacks, some professors at both aforementioned
schools have developed a MOOC oriented to new university students. The designed MOOC is useful in order to improve the basic knowledge of new students regarding these sciences.

Feasibility of enriching anammox bacteria using sludge from two wastewater treatment plants

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is a promising biotechnology suitable for the removal of nitrogen from wastewaters. A proper choice of the seeding sludge and operational conditions is critical when dealing with the start-up of a new anammox reac
tor. The objective of this research was to evaluate the feasibility of enriching anammox bacteria using two different sources of activated sludge. Both sludges were obtained from full-scale treatment plants targeting N-removal from high strength wastewater. The monitoring of the reactors was carried out according to N-compositional variables
and also by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of the functional gene encoding for the hydrazine-oxidizing enzyme (hzo), which is specific of anammox bacteria. The combined analysis of both macroscopic and microscopic data demonstrated that anammox bacteria could be enriched using activated sludge from a treatment plant processing pig slurry in Catalonia
