Learning outcomes |
The specific goals are pointed out next::
1 - To identify monitoring parameters the main operational parameters;
2 - To describe the main technologies applied in effluent treatment;
3 – Promote reuse opportunities;
Before the completion of this course students should be able to understand the fundamentals of biological, chemical and physical aspects applied on monitoring and treatment of water, wastewater, and solid waste. Specifically they should describe fundamental principles of wastewater treatment processes and solve problems related with monitoring and treatment processes.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
To acquire the intended skills and learning outcomes, theoretical classes (TE), theoretical-practical classes are taught
(TP) and laboratory practices (PL). In TE classes, the teacher presents the topics, analyzes and discusses the contexts of
application of various environmental technologies, with student participation being requested and encouraged. TP classes are intended for
carrying out the problems on the cards, which require understanding and application of the fundamentals of environmental technologies
studied. In PL classes, analytical determinations are carried out with water and effluent samples according to procedures
Standard Methods. These activities are carried out in groups and the results obtained are subject to analysis. The UC evaluation included the
theoretical and practical aspects implemented through 2 tests and specific to the practical aspect carried out in a group, including the
performance and analysis of the results obtained.
