Course abstract

Content of course is directed to give knowledge about development history of water supply and sewerage systems, importance for society life, possible solutions of networks constructions, basics of projecting, sewerage network and purification facilities, special features of rainwater sewerage, project documentation.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Learning of course will give students skills of projecting simple internal water supply and sewerage systems of buildings, calculations of them, evaluate safety of systems exploitation, possible effects of system malfunction, planning sequence of building works, safety of realization and quality control. Assessment of knowledges occurs during project defense procedure and evaluating of answers of offsetting questions.

Requirements for awarding credit points

Student should defense course work and acquire successful valuation in theoretical offsetting.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

After receiving of individual course work task students get to know content of it and basic project data and plan of carrying out. On drawings designed by plumbing devices, create schematic 3D drawings of networks, study requirements of standards, normative and manuals. In process of course work students get skills to make simple calculation of building networks. Afterward students must be able to create complete system using separate elements and fittings, evaluate possible effect of malfunction each section, sequence planning of building works, control of safety and quality.
Final project defense procedure.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

Course assessment will be:
10 (brilliant), if trainer don’t show any unmet requirement in course work and student answers offsetting questions correctly
9 (excellent), if there are minor errors and inaccuracies in course work and student answers offsetting questions correctly
7 good), if there are minor errors and inaccuracies in course work and student answers offsetting questions almost correctly
6 (almost good), if there should be made serious corrections in course work and student answers offsetting questions almost correctly
5 (mediocre), if there should be made important corrections in course work and student answers to one offsetting question correctly
4 (almost mediocre), if there should be made essential corrections in course work and student answers to one offsetting question almost correctly
3 and less (unsuccessful), in course work exist override of requirements of normative and significant errors and student’s answers don’t match theme, what a about offsetting questions are.
