Base Knowledge
Knowledge learned in the Environmental Quality Control and Chemistry Units
Teaching Methodologies
Laboratory classes aimed at carrying out liquid effluent analyzes.
Learning Results
At the end of this course the student is expected to be able to: Identify the main physicochemical parameters characterizing a potable, superficial, recreational or residual water analysis. Acquire skills and develop experimental rigor in the experimental determination of water quality control parameters. Understand the relevance of the parameters studied in the design and maintenance of water and effluent treatment facilities.
Program
