Base Knowledge
Students must demonstrate knowledge in the field of hydraulic, particularly about flow, whether in free surface or under pressure.
Teaching Methodologies
The lectures use expository and inquisitive methods. The syllabus is covered in practical situations and critical thinking and understanding are encouraged through active participation in class; students solve exercises individually or in groups.
In some classes, which are more tutorial in nature, individual learning skills and teamwork are explored by clarifying doubts and monitoring the proposed work.
Learning Results
Acquire knowledge of the management of water supply systems and wastewater drainage systems (pluvial and domestic).
Acquiring skills and competencies in the operation of water supply systems and wastewater drainage systems and solving problems related to their management.

Luísa Margarida Pontes Neves Lourenço RibeiroGrading Methods
For students to be admitted to the evaluation in the current academic year, it is mandatory to:
1) ensure a minimum attendance of 60% in classes and
2) complete all practical assignments proposed in the classes until 19th december 2025.
Taking the final exam during one of the exam periods.
Assessment components:
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).
Students with special status must indicate their status by the end of the second school week and do all practical assignments.
Improvement of the final grade:
Students are only admitted to the component of the Final Exam, corresponding to 60% of the final grade.
