Introduction
The course covers basic subjects in hydraulic and environmental engineering.
The goal is to give the students basic knowledge and skills in the planning, design, operation and maintenance of water and wastewater installations. The course also provides a broad introduction to planning, design, analysis and assessment of sustainable stormwater management, detention basins and relevant water treatment solutions.
Field trips and inspections in this course are mandatory.
Required preliminary courses
No requirements over and above the admission requirements.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge
The student is familiar with:
- Analyses, design, construction, operation and maintenance of water and wastewater infrastructure
- Trench infrastructure
- Master planning
- Waterworks hydrology, water chemistry and the quality of various sources of drinking water and water quality terminology
- Relevant process engineering in water, wastewater and sludge treatment
- The impact of pollution on different recipients
- Basic knowledge on microbiology associated with hygienic barriers and biological water treatment processes
- Regulations and standards for the establishment, operation and maintenance of water and wastewater treatment plants
- Concepts, metrics, methods and interpretation of water quality data measured in drinking water, wastewater, stormwater and recipients in relation to official regulations
Skills
The student:
- is capable of basic planning and design of distribution networks, stormwater solutions and mechanical treatment facilities for water, wastewater and stormwater
- masters important terminology in the field
General competence
The student is capable of:
- reflecting on the choice of solutions for water, sewage, surface water and waste management in relation to safety and the surroundings
- disseminating measurement data and their consequences
Teaching and learning methods
Lectures, exercise sessions and field trips/inspections
Course requirements
The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:
- 6 compulsory exercises must be approved. These can be solved individually or in groups, but all exercises must be submitted in individual Canvas folders within specified deadlines. The scope of work is about 2 hours of self-employment per exercise assignment.
Assessment
The elective course is initiated provided that a sufficient number of students choose the course.
Permitted exam materials and equipment
No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

Examiners
Undervisningen organiseres i timeplanlagte arbeidsøkter. I arbeidsøktene skal studentene øve på fagstoff som blir presentert. Noe av undervisningen vil foregå som øving i problemløsing, hvor bruk av numerisk programvare naturlig vil inngå. Innholdet i øvingene omfatter diskusjoner og samarbeid, samt individuell øving i å løse oppgaver. Mellom de timeplanlagte arbeidsøktene er det nødvendig å arbeide individuelt med oppgaveregning og litteraturstudier.
