Water Science Engineer
Face-to-face
10 semesters
The water sciences engineer will have sufficient academic training to manage, plan, design, operate and evaluate projects for the use, conservation and protection of water resources and ecosystems; he/she will also have the capacity to lead the planning, design, operation and evaluation of systems for the supply of drinking water, sanitary and rainwater drainage, domestic and industrial wastewater treatment, and the hydraulic and energy use of water resources.
In addition, they will be able to work in both the public and private sectors in professional activities linked to the integrated management of water and bio-aquatic resources, including water governance.
At the national level, the Water Regulation and Control Agency is responsible for the comprehensive and integrated management of water resources, the quantity and quality of water in its sources and recharge areas, the quality of public services related to the water sector and all its uses and exploitation.
In the Planning Zone Zone 5, the decentralised autonomous governments (GAD), both provincial and municipal, have exclusive competences with respect to water resources according to the Organic Code of Territorial Organisation, Autonomy and Decentralisation (COOTAD), as well as in the areas of Irrigation and Drainage Management.
Within a period of less than 72 hours after the absence, the student must justify the absence through their academic management system account (SGA) where they must attach a PDF of the medical certificate validated by the UBU (University Welfare Unit) in the event that the absence was due to illness; or attach the death certificate of the family member in the case of domestic calamity.
Access to a third registration is limited to only three possibilities:
In the case of a and b, the student must attach the appropriate medical support that demonstrates that the student has been through these situations, and this documentation must also be validated by the UBU.
In general, the SGA blocks students who have stopped studying the last academic period, so the student must request by means of a signed request in pdf to the career mail the unblocking of their SGA account to be able to access the new enrolment period.
When a change of HEI (Higher Education Institution) is made, it is not possible to validate all the learning units approved in the HEI of origin, so as the student approves the prerequisites of the current curriculum, he/she can request through the Career Coordination Office that the learning units that were not validated at the time of the transfer of HEI be validated by validation. For this analysis, it must be considered that the subject to be validated must have 80% similarity in its minimum learning contents, as well as in the number of credits and hours.
Consideration should be given to whether there is an inter-institutional agreement between the two HEIs and if so, the same requirements apply.
In order to access financial aid, the application period must be in force in the Academic Management System (SGA), where each student can select the type of financial aid of interest and upload the requested documents if they meet the requirements. Approximately on 1 August each year, enrolled students receive notifications through the SGA through which those who meet the established requirements can apply. The types of financial aid available are:
The deadlines are published in the call for applications (one per year). Additionally, the student must have been a regular student during the financial aid validation period, which corresponds to the academic year prior to the call for applications. It is suggested that you review the requirements for each type of grant and apply for the one in which you think you have the best chance of being a beneficiary.
