COURSE OBJECTIVES:
After completing this course each student should:1. Know
important fundamental concepts of hydraulics and hydrology.
2. Understand how to solve engineering design problems using
hydraulic and hydrologic
principles and methods.
COURSE OUTCOMES [PROGRAM OBJECTIVES a, b, c, e, g, i, j &
k]
At the completion of the course each student is expected to:1.
Understand how to use the continuity, momentum and energy equations
to solve
hydraulics problems including flow in closed conduits, flow in
open channels, pumps,
and flow in the subsurface environment.2. Understand the
components and processes of the hydrologic cycle.3. Understand the
methods used to make hydrologic measurements.4. Understand how to
derive and use relationships between rainfall and runoff.5.
Understand how to use statistics and probability theory to
characterize and present
hydrologic data.
6. Understand how to use flood routing principles and methods.7.
Understand how to do engineering design calculations using
hydrologic and hydraulic
principles and calculation techniques.
OUTCOME MEASUREMENT:
Learning will be assessed using examinations, quizzes, and
graded homework.
