Applied Hydraulics I

Students should have knowledge about Hydraulics.

Expository and inquiry method for explanation of theoretical subjects and resolution of exercises. Execution of a project of a water supply system in groups of 2 or 3 students.
Assessment: Final Exam (EF-12 points) and project (P-8 points). The approval means that EF is greater than or equal to 40% of 12 points and P is greater than or equal to 50% of 8 points; The final mark is NF = EF + P.

The goal of this unit to acquire the knowledge necessary for interpretation and design of water supply systems.
Generic skills: application of knowledge and understanding; judgment and decision making; self-learning; teamwork; oral and written communication.
Specific skills: design water supply systems; understand the hydrological phenomena and recognize the potential of the use of the water as an economic factor of production and social progress; introduce the main chemical, physical and biological processes involved in water treatment and sewage disposal applied in the design and management of treatment plants.
