Energy Management

Knowledge of physics, hydraulics and hydrology and proficiency in reading/interpreting English.

(1) Theoretical-practical classes – combine theoretical exposition with the presentation and discussion of practical cases, and resolution of exercises. They are organized into two modules that structure the syllabus and allow for an intermediate evaluation.

(2) Tutorial orientation classes – more individual follow-up to enable a more detailed discussion of subjects, elimination of gaps and guidance of practical work.

(3) Realization of practical work, carried out in small groups, in order to favor students’ involvement, which culminate in presentations and oral discussions.

(4) A field trip as a practical demonstration of the contents presented and discussed in class.
