MABY5315 Urban Water Technology Course description

This course equips students with skills and knowledge in hydraulic and bioprocess modelling for urban water systems. Students will learn to use hydraulic models for designing urban storm-, wastewater, and water distribution systems, covering specifics of urban hydraulics and hydrology, as well as system planning, design and optimization.

Additionally, chemical and biochemical engineering principles will be used to learn mathematical models of bioprocesses, focusing on reaction kinetics, bioreactor operation and design in biological water treatment.

The course integrates training on software tools, such as SWMM, Mike+, Epanet, Scalgo, Matlab, and Python for hands-on experience and simulations.

I bacheloroppgaven skal studenten anvende teorier og metoder fra studiets fagområder på en selvstendig valgt problemstilling. Studenten velger selv tema for oppgaven.

Undervisningsspråk er norsk.

Studenten må ha fullført og bestått 1. og 2. studieår av bachelorprogrammet i arkivvitenskap.

The teaching will consist of a combination of:

• Lectures & discussions
• Independent studies including video recordings and online exercises
• Coursework assignments
• Practical use of tools and software
• Field excursions

2 project reports (700-1000 words in addition to supporting information/appendices).

1 field excursion. Hand in of a report from the field excursions (approx. 300 words)

A written exercise for missing attendance of field excursion.

60 % physical presence is mandatory in lectures and training. A written exercise for missing attendance.

1.Two individual projects to be handed in counting for 70 % of the grade;

(A) Bioprocess technology: hand in an individual written report of 1500-1700 words, in addition to supportive information/appendices, counting for 35 % of the grade.

(B)Urban Pipe Systems: hand in an individual written document of 1500-1750 words in addition to appendices, counting for 35 % of the grade.

2. One individual oral presentation on the bioprocess technology part (15 min) followed by individual Q&A (10 min), counting for 30 % of the grade.

In the event of failed or valid absence of exam, the postponed exam will be given as either an oral or written examination.

Part 1 can be appealed, part 2 can't be appealed.

All aids is allowed.
