Objectives: Teaching the concepts, principles and fundamental theories that describe the behaviour of several types of flow phenomena. Teaching the theories and methods used in Civil Engineering for the planning and design of flow control works and hydraulic structures.
Skills and learning outcomes: Knowledge of basic science and core knowledge of Engineering (Engineering Sciences); engineering reasoning and problem solving attitudes; acquisition of inter-personal skills, individual and team work capacity; oral and written communication.
DEMONSTRATION OF THE SYLLABUS COHERENCE WITH THE CURRICULAR UNIT'S OBJECTIVES:
This curricular unit presents the basic principles of hydraulics for the exercise and practice of civil engineering, introducing the themes to be developed in the curricular units of the specific area of Hydraulics, Water Resources and Environment.
Lectures for theoretical framing and exposure, introduction to problem solving and engineering approach for real life problems. Classroom classes (tutorial type) for problem solving practice, including computational work. Laboratory class for hydraulic phenomena visualization, demonstration, and measurement.
DEMONSTRATION OF THE COHERENCE BETWEEN THE TEACHING METHODOLOGIES AND THE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
The presentation of the concepts, principles and fundamental theories by using interpretation of illustrative examples aims to develop scientific thinking on hydraulics phenomena and flows. In this way a proper attitude and thinking is developed to solve engineering problems and a solid basis for the subsequent curricular units is acquired, allowing the use of correct techniques and rigorous problems formulation.

Achieving final classification requires compliance with attendance at the course unit, according to the MIEC assessment rules. It is considered that students meet the attendance requirements if, having been regularly enrolled, the number of absences of 25% for each of the classes’ types (lectures and tutorial classes) is not exceeded.
1. GENERAL ASPECTS
The Distributed Assessment is compulsory and is always carried out in the current academic year.
The Distributed Assessment Components consist of: two written tests (designated by T1 and T2); a portfolio of exercises solved by the students as proposed in the tutorial classes (designated by PF); laboratory work (designated by TL).
The PF component is applicable only to students who have met the criterion of minimum attendance to tutorial classes in the current academic year.
Students without approval in the 1st Call have access to the 2nd Call.
All assessment components are expressed in the scale of 0 to 20 values.
2. DISTRIBUTED ASSESSMENT
For the students who have met the criterion of minimum attendance to tutorial classes, in the current academic year, the final grade, CF (rounded to the units), results from the following calculation formula:
CF=CT1×0.45+CT2×0.45+CPFx0.05+CTLx0.05
For the students who have not met the criterion of minimum attendance to tutorial classes, in the current academic year, the final grade, CF (rounded to the units), results from the following calculation formula:
CF=CT1×0.475+CT2×0.475+CTLx0.05
In the formulas above,
CT1 - is the mark obtained in test T1 (rounded to one decimal digit);
CT2 - is the mark obtained in test T2 (rounded to one decimal digit);
CPF - is the mark obtained after analysis of the portfolio PF (rounded to one decimal digit);
CTL - is the mark obtained after analysis of the report of the laboratory work TL (rounded to one decimal digit).
The passing of the course requires a minimum mark of 6.0 values (6/20) in each of the written tests (T1 and T2).
3. 1st AND 2nd CALLS
The two written tests T1 and T2 can be sat in two different calls: the 1st Call and the 2nd Call.
The deadlines for submission of the portfolio (PF) and for the report of the laboratory work (TL) will be defined by the teachers.
NOTE 1: The 1st Call consists of the two written tests mentioned above, T1 and T2, to be carried out on scheduled dates along the academic term.
NOTE 2: The 2nd Call consists of two consecutive written tests (T1 and T2), to be carried out during the exams' period, on a scheduled date (see exams calendar).
NOTE 3: Students who failed to achieve a passing grade in the 1st Call may choose to seat only one of the written tests (T1 or T2) or both written tests (T1 and T2) in the 2nd Call. The best marks (from the 1st Call and the 2nd Call marks) will be used to compute the final grade.
NOTE 4: The marks of the PF and TL components of the distributed assessment cannot be improved in the 2nd Call.
Estimated working time outside the classroom: 3 hours/week.
