Principles of Water Resources Engineering

Catalog description

Water Resources Engineering is the first applied engineering course in the water area of the civil engineering curriculum. In this course, students learn the fundamentals of hydrology and hydraulics applied to surface and ground water. This course focuses on theoretical and practical fundamentals applicable to municipal water supply and distribution, and sewage collection and management (sanitary and storm). Upon completion of this course, the student will be prepared for the hydraulics and hydrologic systems portion of the Civil Engineering portion of the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam. The concepts studied in Water Resources Engineering are used in general civil engineering practice and are foundational to all advanced Water Resources Engineering courses.
