Course content
Hydrology for Engineers deals with the engineering methodology on flood, water resources, water quality, groundwater and so on. Students learn the basic principle and framework of engineering hydrology in urban environment.
Purpose of class
The purpose of the class is to learn the basic principles of engineering hydrology and its application to the urban hydrological problems.
Goals and objectives
  1. Understanding the basic principle of hydrology and learning various approaches to solve the environmental problems in the hydrologic cycle.
  2. Understanding the approach of three aspects, flood control, water utilization, and aquatic environment, to improve urban environment.
  3. Understanding the mathematical modeling to deal with hydrologic phenomena.
