Base Knowledge
Students should have knowledge about Hydraulics, particularly pressurized flows.
Teaching Methodologies
In classes, expository and inquisitive methods are used. During the approach to the program subjects, practical situations are exposed and critical thinking and understanding are encouraged, with active participation in classes; Students solve exercises individually or in groups.
Some classes are tutorial type, when individual learning skills and teamwork are explored through clarifying doubts and monitoring the proposed work.
Throughout the semester, students develop a project for a water supply system, in groups of 2 or 3 students.
Learning Results
This course aims to acquire the knowledge necessary for the interpretation, conception and design of water supply systems (intake, treatment, transmission, storage and distribution).
Generic Skills: application of knowledge and understanding; carrying out judgment and decision making; self-learning; teamwork; written and oral communication.
Specific skills: design and dimension water supply systems; understand hydrological phenomena and recognise the potential of using water as an economic factor of production and social progress; introduce the main chemical, physical and biological processes involved in water treatment applicable to the design and management of treatment plants.
