Teaching Methodologies
The teaching methodologies include lecturing with computer support, field trips to different fluid network installations, seminars on specific topics, and group work. Evaluation consists of a written exam at the end of the semester, a report on the assignment chosen, and an oral presentation of the assignment. The written exam is worth 50%, the report is worth 30% and the oral presentation and discussion counts for 20% of the total mark. Students must score a minimum of 40% on the written exam.
Learning Results
The main aims of this course unit are:
Theoretical and practical approach on the fundamental core aspects of fluid networks, introducing the components, materials, technical terminology and methodologies useful to the design, project and construction of industrial piping. Develop skills in group.
At the end of this course unit is the learner is expected to be able:
To design, create, manage and head the installation of fluid networks projects. To know how to plan and carry out programs and activities related to fluid network maintenance.
