Abstract
Hydroinformatics is broadly defined as the application of modern information
technologies to the solution of problems associated with the aquatic environment. In their
future working and professional environment higher education graduates are expected to
effectively work in the “Information Society”.. Implied there is a change from application
of disciplinary topics to competence based working where knowledge, skills and attitudes
are integrated across separate disciplines. Students in higher education need a learning
environment in which they can learn to operate at the level required for starting a
professional career. The learning environment therefore should take realistic account of
the future working and professional environment with the main focus on development of
professional competences of students. The students learn to apply knowledge in
professional situations; their competence development is measured and assessed. This is
the characteristic of an educational concept which is often termed as ‘competence-based
education’.
