Course description and aims

This lecture gives the fundamentals of water supply and sewer system in urban area, and aquatic environment science and engineering for conservation water environment. In each class students are required to not only listen a lecture but also do exercise to understand the current state of water use and water environment management. In such manner, this lecture provides the basic knowledge necessary to water use and water environment management.

The target of this lecture for students is to understand key approaches in water supply, sewer system, water environmental management required for sustainable water use and aquatic environment. Students can obtain the foundation for achieving sustainable water use in the context of water resources and aquatic ecosystems.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Utilize fundamentals on aquatic chemistry for water quality management.
2) Explain the basics of environmental sanitary engineering related to water supply and sewers.
3) Explain basic aquatic ecology and management techniques of water environment.

Enjoy and appreciate works of art and broaden their artistic experience.
2) Explain the history of 20th century art including from a cultural and social context.
3) Analytically and comprehensively convey their aesthetical impressions to others.4) Grasp multiple meanings of works of art through discussions with others.

Keywords

Fundamentals on aquatic chemistry, Water supply, Sewer system, Water environmental management, Aquatic ecosystem, Sustainability

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills ✔ Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Topics change every class. Every class contains a lecture for about 80 min. and exercise for about 20 min. Besides the class and exercise, all students are expected to submit reports. Attendance will be recorded in every class.
