Objetivos
The aim of the curricular unit is to introduce students to the urban water cycle and its infra-structures, in its quantity and quality aspects, including basic knowledge of water treatment. In this discipline, the student will complement the competences acquired in Hydraulics I and II and learn about procedures to solve real problems. Students will be able to perform engineering design of water supply and sewer systems and its interference with the water cycle. Students should develop their competences in work planning and team work. Work planning has a special emphasis in this curricular unit, as milestones are established all through the term. They should be able to research for contents on their own, in this area. They must understand all the possibilities there are for a civil engineer to intervene and when they should interact with other specialists. Students must assure their individual knowledge in the area.
Resultados de aprendizagem e competências
Theoretical classes were implemented in a perspective of active learning, where students are invited to participate with their opinion, with the interpretation of technical texts or extracts from the media (texts or films). The practical classes are focused in project design, and students are encouraged to bring their projects to class, text, calculations or design plants, for a continuous improvement.

Bibliografia Obrigatória
José Alfeu Sá Marques, Joaquim José de Oliveira Sousa; Hidráulica urbana: sistemas de abastecimento de água e de drenagem de águas residuais, Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, 2008. ISBN: 978-989-8704-65-2
Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem
The teaching methodology assures that students are evolved their work group and that they are always aware of the milestones. Student’s responsibility is promoted with penalization of late deliveries, when every piece of work has a minimum grade and when all the reports are discussed with the teacher. Some necessary elements for design are not provided by the teacher, which obliges the students to look for the information elsewhere. Giving the students technical texts or extracts from the media allows them to perceive that the subjects understudy is way beyond the academic boundaries and allows discussing such concepts in other domains outside Civil Engineering. Self and per evaluation permit a larger acknowledgment of the importance of team work and of individual contribution towards a common goal. Personal learning outcomes are evaluated based on oral discussion of the written reports, individual exams and on oral discussion for higher grades.
