To be announced

Except mid-semester break 2019.

Please note that the course timetable is subject to change, because of public holidays. The final timetable will be confirmed before the beginning of the semester.

On successful completion of this course in Water Distribution Systems and Design students will be able to:

1. Develop competency in the engineering fundamentals of (a) the formulation of the underlying governing equations for behaviour of flows and pressures in piped water distribution systems; (b) optimisation of water distribution systems design and operations (c) multi-objective optimisation of water distribution system design for both life cycle cost and life cycle greenhouse gas minimisation and (d) water hammer control in piped systems using air vessels and other water hammer control devices.
2. Develop competency in the analysis, design and optimisation of water distribution systems, in particular, in using computer techniques.
3. Recognise uncertainty and risk (e.g. in the estimation of peak day water demands and pipe roughnesses) and recognising limitations of engineering approaches and systems.
4. Recognise the need for sustainable systems and principles of sustainable design by taking into account greenhouse gas emission as a result of construction and pumping operations of water distribution systems.
5. Develop the ability to work and communicate effectively with others in small groups working on assignments and projects in a time-efficient manner – written, oral, listening and time management skills.

Lecture notes:

It is essential that you acquire a copy of the notes for the course. These notes are from a book prepared by Professor Simpson on "Water Distribution Systems Engineering". The lecture notes are available for purchase from the Unified Online Shop . The exam is restricted open book. These notes will be able to be taken into the exam.

You will be expected to read the notes as this is an important source of material from which you will learn. For most assignment and design questions you will need to read thoroughly the appropriate chapter(s) from the notes.

MyUni Resources:

The lectures, tutorials and designs are all critical components of the course. Powerpoint slides for each lecture will be made available. Lecture video recordings will also be made available on MyUni for review. If you miss a lecture it is essential that you review the recording prior to the next lecture.

Powerpoint slides, assignments and design tasks as well as other reference material and videos will be made available electronically via MyUni.

Online resources (MyUni):

Material such as lecture slides, assignments, the design projects, reference material and papers will be provided on MyUni. Students are expected to regularly check on MyUni for course announcements and utilise the Discussion Board for additional contact.

Other Resources:

If required, other relevant resources will be made available in the “Resources” or “Project” sections of the course MyUni site.

Learning & Teaching Modes

This course uses a number of different teaching and learning approaches (in a set of integrated learning activities) including:

· Lectures (usually two or three 1 hour lectures weekly) including Guest Lectures from industry professionals
· Problem Solving Tutorials (six to eight throughout the semester)
· Design sessions - computer suites (aproximately 13 hours design/computer suite sessions during the semester)
· Lecture Participation
· Examinations

The lectures are supported and reinforced by the additional teaching modes including tutorials and designs (both formal and informal activities).

This course is aimed to  provide you with the opportunity to achieve the course learning objectives in a supportive and motivating context.

The centrepiece of the course are the two Design Projects on water distribution systems. You will learn the fundamental principles/underlying theory required to complete these designs.

Please note that University guidelines suggest that the average student should spend 48 hours per week to achieve a Credit.  Consequently, the total workload for this course is 12 hours per week (144 hours in total over 12 weeks) for an average student to achieve a Credit.

Expected Course Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements. 

Please note that University guidelines suggest that the average student should spend 48 hours per week to achieve a Credit.

Consequently, the total workload for this course is 12 hours per week (144 hours in total over 12 weeks) for an average student to achieve a Credit.


Group Work

For assessment tasks requiring group work, groups will be partly self selected (for assignments only). Allocation of numbers of students per group will depend on total number of students in the course in a particular year. If there are 4 members per group the following process will be followed. You will pair up with one other person with whom you will work in group work for the entire semester. Pairs will rotate to form a new group of four for each new group work task. All members in a group are expected to contribute equally to the overall task. In cases of perceived unequal contributions to group work, students should come and discuss the matter with the teaching staff. 

Peer Assessment

This course includes a peer assessment for the design tasks undertaken within groups.

Hurdle Requirements

In order to pass this course, students must obtain at least:
   
40% for the exam

If the above requirements are not met, students will receive a 39 F (fail) for this course OR the weighted mark for the course (whichever is lower mark).

Please be aware that you may be eligible for an academic supplementary exam if you fail to meet this requirement. If a student sits a supplementary exam on academic grounds, the final mark will be based on that examination only. Failure to demonstrate a necessary level of knowledge and understanding of the course material in the supplementary exam will result in a fail grade.

A. Designs

Objectives: The objective of the Designs is to provide students with the opportunity to apply the course material in a realistic context in order to achieve higher-order learning outcomes. 
 
There will 3 components to the design including Design 1 (a) numerical methods for solving pipe network equations Design 2 (a) manual trial-and error design of a water distribution system using computer simulation and (b) genetic algorithm optimisation of a water distribution system using a computer software program called “Optimizer ” developed by an Adelaide company called Optimatics Pty Ltd.
            

B. Assignments

Objectives: The objective of the Assignments is to provide students with the opportunity to apply the course material to problems. 
 
There will be a number of assignments - while working individually or in groups of four (sometimes 3 or 4 if necessary).


C. Examination

Objectives: The objective of an Exam is to provide an independent test of whether students have gained an understanding of the key learning objectives.  Details of which course learning objectives are addressed by the Exam are given above.
 
A 3 hour examination will be held at the end of Semester I. It will be a restricted open book exam.

·       Notes provided by Prof Simpson for the course may be brought into the examination. This is explicitly restricted to the textbook by
Crowe and Prof Simpson's book and Powerpoints of material not in Prof. Simpson's book.

·       NO OTHER BOOKS OR MATERIAL may be brought into the examination. Information relating to Fluid Properties will be permitted.

·       The design, tutorial solutions and worked problems including solutions to old examination problems, may NOT BE brought into the examination. A check of the material brought in by each student will be made at the beginning of the examination.

·       Use of dictionaries is permitted.

.       The use of calculators is permitted. Ensuring the calculator batteries are sufficient for the duration of the examination is the responsibility of the student. 

Supplementary exams awarded on academic grounds will only be given in extraordinary circumstances.
If a student sits for a supplementary exam on academic grounds, the final mark will be based on the examination only.

Submission deadlines will be given on each assignment and on the lecture and tutorial schedule.

Details about the submission process for the Homework Exercises will be given at the beginning of the semester and details of the submission process for the Designs will be given in separate handouts.
