2. Objectives and learning outcomes
2.1 Objectives
The aim of the course is to acquaint the student with the importance of dewatering engineering structures. Topics to be discussed:
2.2 Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this subject, the student:
A. Knowledge
- understands the theoretical background of hydrogeological and hydraulic modeling of drainage,
- is aware of the types of pollution on the road,
- knows the removal options for contaminants,
- is aware of the technical and legal background of drainage planning,
- understands the effects of long-term planning on environmental and climate change,
- knows modern construction and maintenance technologies,
- is familiar with dewatering problems during operation,
B. Skills
- is able to identify the hydrogeological features of the area during drainage planning,
- is able to identify dewatering problems during design and operation,
- complex management of various technical problems related to draining,
- selects the optimal intervention for the dewatering system,
- is able to present the optimal intervention to decision makers,
- identifies construction defects related to dewatering during construction and afterwards,
- is able to express his thoughts in an orderly form orally and in writing.
C. Attitudes
- cooperates with the teacher and fellow students in expanding the knowledge,
- expands his knowledge with continuous acquisition of knowledge,
- open to the use of information technology tools,
- strives to know and routinely use the system of tools needed to solve drainage problems,
- strives for an accurate and error-free solution,
- strives for economic efficiency
D. Autonomy and Responsibility
- independently considers and solves drainage tasks and problems based on specific resources,
- openly welcomes substantiated critical remarks,
- in some situations - as part of a team - cooperates with his / her fellow students in solving the tasks,
- takes a systematic approach to its thinking.
2.3 Methods
Lectures with theoretical knowledge; written and oral communication. Use of IT tools and techniques. Solving case study tasks together

II. Subject requirements
Assessment and evaluation of the learning outcomes
3.1 General rules
The assessment of the learning outcomes set out in chapter 2.2. is based on a midterm test and active participation in the lectures (partial performance assessment).
3.2 Assessment methods
| Teljesítményértékelés neve (típus) | Jele | Értékelt tanulási eredmények |
| Midterm test (summary evaluation) | MT | A.1-A.7; B.1-B.7; C.1-C.6; D.1-D.4 |
The dates of deadlines of assignments/homework can be found in the detailed course schedule on the subject’s website.
3.3 Evaluation system
| Abbreviation | Score |
| MT | 100% |
| Összesen | 100% |
3.4 Requirements and validity of signature
Writing the successful midterm test
3.5 Grading system
| Grade | Points (P) |
| Excellent (5) | 80<=P |
| Good (4) | 70<=P<80% |
| Satisfactory (3) | 60<=P<70% |
| Passed (2) | 50<=P<60% |
| Fail (1) | <50% |
3.6 Retake and repeat
The midterm test can be repeated – once without fee – at a previously determined date given in the course schedule. If the first repetition is also unsatisfactory (failed), then the test can be repeated once more, during the repetition week, by paying a fee.
3.7 Estimated workload
| Activity | Hours/semester |
| contact hours | 2×14=28 |
| preparation for the courses | 32 |
| preparation for the tests | 30 |
| Sum | 90 |
