Learning Outcomes
The students should acquire the basic principles od steady state flows in closed conduits and open channels, which form the basis for the study of important civil engineering works (e.g. water supply and sewage networks, irrigation networks etc.)
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Make decisions
- Work autonomously
- Respect natural environment
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
