Course abstract
Water supply & sewerage engineering networks are with primary importance for each building where people are living, remain of any longer time or make economic activities. In course student should get knowledge about history and development of water supply and sewerage systems, content of these modern systems, problems of sewage utilization and solving of them as well, constructions of devices and working principles of them, required project documentation for realization.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
Knowledge - familiar with theoretical issues related to water supply and sewerage systems. Skills - are able to make the selection of water supply and sewerage system elements. Competence - is able to calculate, evaluate the consequences of possible incorrect operation of systems, is able to plan the sequence of system construction works, safety, perform quality control. Course work should be developed and evaluate in defense procedure in 10 points system.
