About this course
The course is aimed at students from all study programs who benefit from basic knowledge of planning and operation of municipal engineering facilities, i.e. roads, water, sewage and waste disposal. For students in the study program water and environmental engineering, the course will give a certain overview of the options for further study in the study programme. The course consists of lectures on management, planning and operation of municipal engineering facilities:
- Road: Basic dimensioning and construction, some transport planning
- Water supply: Water extraction, water treatment, water distribution
- Wastewater (central and decentralized solutions): Collection and transport, waste water treatment and resource recovery, discharge to recipient
- Modern stormwater management to prevent floods, manage pollutants and use stormwater as a resource
- Renovation and resource recovery
- Geotechnical engineering and natural hazards
- Municipal administration, finance and planning processes, spatial planning for municipal engineering facilities, localization theory, universal design
- Principles for placing houses on land and fire prevention
Learning outcome
Knowledge
The students have basic knowledge of municipal organisation, as well as the planning, construction and operation of municipal engineering facilities such as road, water, drainage, stormwater and waste disposal facilities. They know important principles when planning land and the utilization and placement of houses, as well as fire protection.
Skills
Students can participate in interdisciplinary communication about municipal engineering facilities with people from different professional backgrounds.
General competence
The students have experience with interdisciplinary teaching.
- Lectures
- The course responsible and other teachers are available, with appointment, for supervision during office hours.
- Written digital home exam with multiple choice questions, 1 hour, graded A - F.
Written exam at home Grading: Letter grades - The external and internal examiner jointly prepare the exam questions and the grading guide. The external examiner reviews the internal examiner's assessment of a random sample of candidates as a calibration at certain intervals according to the faculty's guidelines for exam grading.
