Base Knowledge
Students should have knowledge about hydraulics.
Teaching Methodologies
Expository and inquisitive methods are used in the classes.
During the approach of programmatic subjects, practical situations are exposed, and critical spirit and understanding are encouraged, with active participation in classes.
Students resolve exercises individually or in groups.
Project-Based Learning (PBL) will be used to promote the application of theoretical principles in real contexts.

Luísa Margarida Pontes Neves Lourenço RibeiroGrading Methods
Students with special status must indicate their status by the end of the second school week.
Minimum requirements for admission to evaluation:
1) Submition and public presentation of their continuous assessment work until the first day of the exam support week;
2) At least 3,2 points in the Continuous Assessment.
Assessment components - for all assessment periods:
1) Continuous Assessment (40% of the final grade, evaluated through the projects developed throughout the semester);
2) Final Exam (60% of the final grade, through a written individual test about the topics lectured).
For approval in this course unit, it is required a final grade of 9,5 or more, and a minimum of 40% in each of the components (meaning at least 3,2 points in the Continuous Assessment and at least 4,8 points in the Assessment by Final Exam).
Improvement of the final grade:
Students are only admitted to the component of the Final Exam, corresponding to 60% of the final grade.
Fraud:
The current regulations of IPC and ISEC will apply to all attempted or committed cases of academic fraud.
Whenever there are doubts about the occurrence of academic fraud, the teacher reserves the right to invite the student to provide clarification in the form of an oral examination.
