Objectives
The main goal of this course is to prepare the student through the design of a project treatment and final disposal of waste in a place whose topography is real in order to apply academic knowledge to a real project built or to be built, enabling it to realize how will practice their future professional life. At the end of this course students are expected to have recovered knowledge from previous years and acquired new skills for application in the project, particularly in the area of geotechnical engineering, geology and civil and sanitary engineering. It also aimed to promote students'' visits to works identical in operation to confrontation with the raw exposed, remove doubts and adjust reality to the concepts acquired.
Prerequisites
All technical knowledge and concepts acquired in the field of sanitary engineering in surveying and CAD knowledge or interest in the acquire. Will be increased knowledge and skills in the field of geotechnical engineering, geology and civil
