Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
This discipline applies the fluid mechanics principles to hydraulic engineering problems in open channel flow, supply systems, and drainage systems.
Syllabus:
Open channel flow. Stormwater drainage systems. Wastewater drainage systems. Legislation. Spillways, weirs and gates. Reservoirs. Hydraulic Structures.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
The presented syllabus covers the essential areas of knowledge to achieve the objectives set out, as the topics included in the program covering the main aspects of the study that enables students to identify and solve problems in preparation for development of hydraulic projects.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
tests, essays
We adopt an interrogative and demonstrative methodology, using problem solving and targeted investigation in order to understand properties of fluids, principles of nozzles and spillways, open channel flow hydraulics, evaluate flow regimes and evaluate characteristics of permanent and uniform continuous flow.
Evaluation is the mean of two tests
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
The proposed methodologies are consistent with the objectives set for the course given that support the development of targeted investigation, acquiring notions of hydraulic design of facilities and systems analysis, establishing a parallelism between the theory and practice applied to real problems that enable students to solve problems of calculation and design in different hydraulic conditions.
