Experimental and Computer Laboratory I (Year Course)
Last Updated: 2026-06-03 00:08:08
Abstract
In the Experimental and Computer Laboratory students are introduced to research and good scientific practice. Experiments are conducted in different disciplines of environmental engineering. Data collected during experiments are compared to the corresponding numeric simulations. The results are documented in reports or presentations.
Objective
The student will learn the following skills: basic scientific work, planning and conducting scientific experiments, uncertainty estimations of measurements, applied numerical simulations, modern sensor technology, writing reports.
Content
The Experimental and Computer Laboratory is building on courses in the corresponding modules. Material from these courses is a prerequisite or co-requisite (as specified below) for participating in the Experimental and Computer Laboratory (MODULE: Project in the Experimental and Computer Laboratory): - WatInfra: Water Network Management - UWM: SysUWM + ProcUWM: Operation of Lab-WWTP - AIR: Air Quality Measurements - WasteBio: Anaerobic Digestion - WasteRec: Plastic Recycling - ESD: Environmental Assessment - GROUND: Groundwater Field Course Kappelen - WRM: Modelling Optimal Water Allocation - FLOW: 1D Open Channel Flow Modelling - LAND: Landscape Planning and Environmental Systems - RIVER: Discharge Measurements - HydEngr: Hydraulic Experiments - RemSens: Earth Observation and Landscape Planning - SOIL: Soil and Environmental Measurements Lab
