Objectives

1. Technical knowledge 1.1 Core engineering fundamental knowledge (mass transfer, separation phenomena, chemical reaction, ion exchange and adsorption) applied to water and wastewater treatment processes. 1.2 Advanced engineering fundamental knowledge: water and wastewater treatment technologies. 2. Acquisition of personal and professional skills 2.1 Engineering reasoning and problem solving: development of knowledge integration skills 3. Acquisition of inter-personal skills 3.1 Teamwork: training in teamwork development 3.2 Written communication by writing technical reports 4. Conceiving, designing, implementing and operating systems 4.1 External and societal context: legal framework; knowledge integration in the resolution of real problems. 4.2 Conceiving and engineering systems: concepts of process integration; water reuse; 4.3 Designing: Dimensioning water and wastewater treatment systems.

Eligibility for exams

According to General Evaluation Rules of FEUP.

Calculation formula of final grade

Module 1: CF1=0,6AD1 + 0,4EF1 (AD1= Group work; EF1 = Final exam).
Module 2: CF2=0.4AD2+0.6EF2 (AD2= problem solving; EF2-Final exam) Minimum grade for EF2=8.

Final grade: CF = 0.5CF1 + 0.5CF2

Examinations or Special Assignments

Not applicable

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Module 1 (DEQ) - ER1

An exam with a theoretical part and a practical part of problem solving . Students can use what they think is necessary to solve the problems and use a calculating machine.

Module 2 (DEC) - ER2

An exam with a theoretical part (30%) and a practical part of problem solving (70%). Students can use what they think is necessary to solve the problems and use a calculating machine.

 

Final grade: 0.5ER1+0.5ER2

Classification improvement

DEQ module - Improved EF1 component 
DEC Module - Improved EF2 component
