The aim of the course:
The objective of this course is to introduce the student to the basic principles of aquatic engineering and design of cost effective systems used in the production of commonly cultured aquatic animals. Students will be required to complete a project related to design of aquatic systems.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : They know what needs to be done during the planning of aquaculture facilities and learn about legal issues.1,2,3,161
LO - 2 : Knows the necessary information and how to obtain it during the project preparation phase.1,2,3,161
LO - 3 : They can draw the technical project for aquaculture business.1,2,3,161
LO - 4 : It can calculate the required water flow in systems such as pools and tanks.1,2,3,161
LO - 5 : They can calculate financial values for aquaculture projects.1,2,3,161
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), LO : Learning Outcome
