Moodle On Line Course
This is 5 ECTS course, the estimated time allocated for this course´s assignments and exams is 135 hours. More detailed schedule will be presented in the beginning of the course.
Sustainable water management is also an important part of the Sustainable Development Goals and Circular Economy, which will be the integrated and holistic approaches of this course. This course introduces the importance of the hydrological systems in a local and global levels. During the course also human impacts (including climate change) of hydrological cycles are discussed as well as the methods and technologies to minimize detrimental effects especially concentrated to wastewater and sludge treatment.
The Student will learn:
- to appreciate the principles of sustainable water management in a context of circular economy and sustainable development goals
- to understand the importance of hydrological cycles for maintaining environmental and societies well being
- to know the main unit processes and technologies to prevent contamination of environment due to the inefficient wastewater and sludge management
- to know the factors that effects on the selection of the purification method and plant design of the wastewater treatment
The student has not achieved competences aimed
Distance learning
Will be specified. All the materials will be achievable online and delivered via Moodle.
This course is a virtual course. The part of the lectures are prerecorded. All of the assignments and exams can be done on-line. There will be approximately 4 contact learning sessions, which exact timing will be informed in the course´s Moodle platform and in TimeEdit. The contact learning sessions contains lectures, group discussions and workshops. To pass the course student must do two individual and group assignments, based on the teachers instructions. Also online exam is arranged.
All of the given assignments and exam must be done (and approved). The more detailed evaluation criterias will be informed in the beginning of the study module.
