Base Knowledge
Students should have knowledge about “General Hydraulics” and “Water and Wastewater Infrastructures”.
Teaching Methodologies
Expository and inquiry method for explanation of theoretical subjects and resolution of exercises. During the approach of programmatic issues, practical situations are presented, and critical spirit and understanding are encouraged, with active participation in classes; students solve exercises individually or in groups.
Learning Results
Acquire basic knowledge on the operation of water supply systems and drainage systems (stormwater and wastewater).
Acquiring skills and competences about the operation of water supply systems and drainage systems and resolution of problems related to their operation.
