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

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

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.
Given the practical nature of the curricular unit, the assessment for approval essentially consists of carrying out practical work (60%), subject to final discussion (20%).
Whenever the classes move to the online regime, the Ms. Teams platform will be used for classes in synchronous mode and for the assessment tests. In the case of online assessments for the validation of grades, an oral assessment may be carried out for all students, being the final classification in the test and / or exam corresponding to this oral assessment.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

It is compulsory to deliver the work and discuss it. The discussion of the work will be carried out by group and equally by all members of the group.

Continuous evaluation
CF =0,4 TG + 0,2 T1 + 0,2 T2 + 0,2 PO
Where:
CF = Final grade
TG = Work report
T1 = Assessment test 1
T2 = Assessment test 2
DT = Work discussion

Minimum grade TG > 8; average of the two tests > 8

Final evaluation
CF = 0,4 TG + 0,4 EX + 0,2 DT
Where:
CF = Final grade
TG = Work report
EX = Final exam
DT= Work discussion

Minimum grade TG > 8; EX > 8

UC in Exception Regime: 100% assessment by exam not applicable.
