Credits: 10. Grading scale: TH. Compulsory for: V2. Course coordinator: Magnus Persson (Water), Eva Leire (Environment), Teknisk vattenresurslära. Recommended prerequisites: Knowledge equivalent to the compulsory courses in mathematics, physics, mechanics and geology. Assessment: Written exams, assignments, labs and active participation in the PBL-sessions and written reprots including refereeing reprots from fellow students. A written exam is required to obtain a higher grade. Parts: 2.

Aim
Water

The objective is to give the student a basic knowledge and understanding of hydrology and hydraulics.

Environment

To give the student fundamental knowledge about (1) environmental problems, (2) environmental science, especially environemntal chemistry and (3) environmental management, legislation and ethics. The student should acquire the skill to write short, well structured reports with a consistent treatment of references. The course is largely conducted using Problem Based Learning and students should after the course be able to discuss the role and responsibility of civil engineers in the development of an envoronmentally sustainable society.
