Overall objectives:

O1 - Qualify the student for a qualified, strategic and mediating professional role in fluvial and maritime hydraulics.
O2 - Understand and simulate the operation of permanent regime flow, and its associated parameters.
O3 - Provide the student with skills to design, analyze and size hydraulic and hydro-agricultural projects, as well as maritime works and port structures, integrating sustainability dimensions.
O4 - Evaluate, quantify and monitor localized erosion, as well as coastal erosion, taking into account the applicable legislative framework.
O5 - Simulate hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes in coastal zone waters.

Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
The teaching component of the Curricular Unity is organized into theoretical and theoretical-practical classes in which all the subjects included in the program are explained and the methodologies for carrying out work on fluvial or maritime hydraulics are defined. Theoretical classes use audiovisual media and are dedicated to presenting the program content. Theoretical-practical classes are dedicated to learning about fluvial and maritime hydraulics, to solve a case study. Whenever possible, study visits will be carried out to reference works on the fluvial and maritime aspects. The continuous evaluation methodology is composed of: 1 - Frequency: weighting of 50%; 2 - Work: The work is evaluated by report, presentation and discussion, with a weighting of 50%. In the Appeal Season and Special Season, the exam is worth 50% of the final assessment, that is, only the frequency is recoverable. The part of the evaluation corresponding to the work is not recoverable.
