Learning outcome
Knowledge
Students can describe and discuss:
- Concepts and procedures for design, construction and operation of urban transport systems for water and wastewater.
- Concepts of system thinking, asset management and risk assessment.
- Concepts and procedures of modeling approaches in urban water systems, including calibration and uncertainty assessment of said models.
- Technologies for building, rehabilitation and maintenance of pipe system for water and wastewater.
- Concepts and procedures of condition monitoring and functionality measurements for urban water and wastewater networks.
Skills
Students can
- execute flow and pressure calculations for water distribution networks using state-of-the-art software.
- execute flow calculations for wastewater networks using state-of-the-art software.
- interpret and compare model results.
- select the appropriate system boundaries and tools for solving engineering problem.
General competence
Students shall be able to abstract engineering problems in the field of urban water systems in order to solve them.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures combined with exercises. The lectures and exercises will be given in English.
Further on evaluation
Both parts of the assessment is given a letter grade, the final grade will be calculated on the basis of the letter grades. 4 exercises account for 60 % of the grade, the exam accounts for 40%.
If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
Recommended previous knowledge
