Base Knowledge
Students should have knowledge about Hydraulics.
Teaching Methodologies
Expository and inquisitive methods are used in the classes.
During the approach of programmatic subjects, practical situations are exposed, and critical spirit and understanding are encouraged, with active participation in classes.
Students resolve exercises individually or in groups.
