Bachelor's degree program "Hydrosciences: Water Management, Hydrology, Circular Economy"

Qualification goals
Students know the engineering fundamentals of suitable water treatment processes and can select these processes according to the raw water and water quality to be achieved. They will be able to describe and explain their technical implementation. They have in-depth practical knowledge of hydroprocessing techniques and are able to apply this knowledge, carry out experiments independently and evaluate and interpret the results scientifically.

Contents
The module covers the general principles of process engineering for water treatment for the technical and economic implementation of processes in which substances are changed in terms of type, properties and composition. The content focuses on the typical chemical-physical and thermal processes used in water treatment, the underlying transport processes, the effects in disperse systems and the conveyance of fluids.

Teaching and learning methods
3 SWS lecture, 1 SWS exercise, 1 SWS practical course and self-study.

Requirements for the awarding of credit points
Credit points are awarded if the module examination is passed. The module examination consists of a written examination lasting 150 minutes and a portfolio of 15 hours. Both examinations are relevant for passing the module.

Credit points and grades
5 credit points can be earned through the module. The module grade is calculated from the weighted average of the grades of the individual examinations. The written examination is weighted four times and the portfolio is weighted once.

Qualification goals
