Learning Goals
Aims to ensure a general basic training in Hydraulics, required by the engineers involved in the management of water resources systems.
The engineers with this knowledge must be able to solve simple hydraulic problems and to be able to talk with specialists in the case of a more complex hydraulic problems.
