    INFO ABOUT THE COURSE


    OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE

    • Knowledge and understanding: Knowledge of fundamentals of mathematics and physicis, applied to solve wastewater engineering problems.
    • Applying knowledge and understanding: Students will able to:
      -) Read and understand a process chart
      -) Chose the unit operations that best fit with wastewater characteristics
      -) Design the most important equipment which are employed in unit operations.
      -) Manage a wastewater plant.
    • Making judgements: The study of fundamentals of wastewater engineering permits the students to achieve self-judgement, required to professional skill.
      Students are spurred to identify order of magnitude and to evaluate with critical mind results obtained.
    • Communication: Written exam and oral presentation spur and test student ability to sustain a technical discussion.
      Students are strongly encouraged to better their English, both to understand technical literature and to sustain oral discussion.
    • Learning skills: Fundamentals and methodological ability acquired by the student are the essential tools for a quick understanding of company policies, in which the graduate will be involved.
      Education acquired during the module train the student to continuously update his fund of knowledge, and to successfully face up the challenge of his professional career.
