Objectives
Objectives
The main objective of this curricular unit is teaching the concepts, principles and fundamental theories that allow you to translate the reality of the various types of disposal. Aim is still that, through various strategies of theoretical and practical training, students can apply and solidify the knowledge acquired throughout the semester on the great theorems of fluid mechanics namely Bernoulli and Euler theorem as well as a continuity equation, principles of hydrostatic, dimensional analysis, and flow type. At the end of this curricular unit, students must have acquired knowledge about: Notions of physical properties of fluids; Master the concepts of the great theorems of fluid mechanics and hydraulic; Notions of hydrostatic principles and hidrocenemática; Notions of various types of outlets; Troubleshoot hydrostatic, hydrokinematics, different types of disposal, holes, and dischargers; Analyze and describe phenomena laboratory demonstrated.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
TEACHING METHODOLOGIES: The teaching-learning methods are based on the work done in the classroom, in the study and research/student bibliography query. During the theoretical sessions, the teacher will make the presentation and discussion of syllabus, with application of knowledge acquired to concrete situations presented. Practice sessions, students will be involved in the discussion/resolution of exercises or problems proposed experimental. EVALUATION: Semi-annual, continuous or final exam. Continuous type evaluation: during classes (and at home) students will be asked to solve exercises (20% of the evaluation). Assessment tests will also be carried out during classes (2 tests, 40% each), previously scheduled with the students. To be successful, students must obtain a minimum grade of 10. Final exam type evaluation: individual test, with written and practical components (100%)
