CE 3354 Engineering Hydrology

Catalog Description

CE 3354: Engineering Hydrology (3:3:0). Prerequisites: ENGR 1330, CE 3305, or equivalent
Analysis and design methods related to the occurrence and distribution of surface and groundwater; precipitation, infiltration, runoff, and frequency analysis.

Theory and application of hydrologic concepts; learn how to use predictive tools such as charts and computer programs, and apply these tools to the analysis and design of collection and drainage systems. Preparation of a professional report is a component of this course.

Upon completion of this course, students shall have:

Read, synthesize, and communicated ideas presented in current and historical technicalliterature.

Delineated watersheds from maps and determine common metrics (area, slope, mainchannel length) using digital planimetry.

Performed hydrologic computations using JupyterLab, Excel, LibreOffice and other tools, as needed.

Performed hydrologic simulation using HEC-HMS.

Prepared a professional report of a hydrologic analysis of of a stormwater management system as a member of a small team.

This sophomore level course requires sucessful completion of CE 3305 (Engineering Fluid Mechanics) or equivalent; Students will apply computational thinking skills from ENGR 1330 and EGR 1206/7.
