Course content
The topic is primarily meant to provide scientific support and theoretic basis for students that select in-depth studies (project and master thesis) within water and wastewater systems. Topics are selected based on which is expected to be essential for the job situation that students will encounter.These are:
- Stormwater technology, design of normal runoff situations as well as extreme events, stormwater pollution
- Pipe network for water and wastewater, sustainable management, i.e. operation, maintenance and rehabilitation regarding economy, environment and customer service
- Use of models for hydraulic conditions as well as service life analysis of new and existing constructions
- Decision support and risk management approaches for urban water infrastructure under uncertainty
Learning outcome
Knowledge and competence
At the end of the course the students understand the principles for design, maintenance and management of existing and new urban drainage installations and can apply those principles on given engineering problems in order to develop suitable solutions in the urban water field.
Skills
At the end of the course the student can develop plans for a sustainable management of stormwater runoff in an urban environment. They can formulate and structure a given problem and apply risk management principles, decision support tools and hydraulic models in order to select suitable solutions and defend their decision in a way that is technical sound, understandable, well presented and documented. They demonstrate the necessary skills in all tools necessary for this task.
General competence
At the end of the course students are able to develop engineering solutions in an analytical and reflected way by critically evaluation of the available information and methods in a complex and unpredicted case.
Learning methods and activities
An excursion will be arranged to water and wastewater installations in Trondheim or another Norwegian city. Lectures will be given on regular basis and two large exercises connected to concrete problems or challenges in the water industry will be supplied. In the end of the semester theoretical knowledge will be tested by a multiple-choice test.
Further on evaluation
Course assessment is done by a 2 hour written exam (60%) and group work (40%).
In case of a re sit exam, written exam may be changed into oral.
Required previous knowledge
