COURSE SCHEDULE

Course Outline

About one third of the course is devoted to learning basic programming skills to solve the numerical and mathematical problems in river engineering. The hydrologic analysis and design assignments require the application of river mechanics and statistics. Students learn first hand about the role played by engineering hydrology in the design of water resources projects, such as urban stormwater management systems. Students learn about economics, environmental issues, ethics, social issues, and political issues related with river and water resources engineering.
